Microsoft Photo Story 3 is a very popular free application that allows users to create a visual story (show and tell presentation) from their digital photos. The software allows adding narration, effects, transitions and background music to create a Windows Media Video movie file with pan and zoom effects. Once a photo story has been made it can be played on a PC using Windows Media Player.
