Yes, it works very well for a freebie! There are a few features that could
be added, but all-in-all
it does an admirable job. I just created a Photo Story "movie" from 45
stills, added custom music and
a starting title, but didn't add any narration. The whole job took me under
an hour.
One of the nicest features is the "black bar elimination", which crops
pictures nicely
and allows you to select the frame positioning. I just uploaded it to
YouTube as a "gift"
for the party involved.
