As we all know (or at least most of us), AVI is the most widely-used video format when it comes to storing movies, TV shows or other types of video files on a personal computer, because it is supported by almost all media players and video editors. PNG is also a popular media format, but this type of file is used for sharing images over the Internet. The portable PNG was created to replace the old GIF format and it has several advantages over other raster graphics formats such as adjustable transparency, gamma correction and some other fetures.

Creating an AVI video file from your PNG image collection can prove to be quite useful in various situations. For example, if you want to share your PNG image gallery or photos taken from your vacation, then simply create an AVI file and deliver it to other users. It is easier than individually transferring each image or dealing with archiving tools. 

Now, I will show you how to create AVI video files from your PNG images using PhotoStage Slideshow Producer 3.0 (Freeware) by NCH Software. I have chosen this application, because it is a powerful tool with lots of features that will help you create fully customizable AVI videos from your PNG collection. Although PhotoStage Slideshow Producer 3.0 is a powerful software, it is pretty easy to use, as you will see in the following guide.

PhotoStage Slideshow Producer 3.0 is free to use only for non-commercial home use. For other purposes, you will have to purchase the Pro version ($29.99)
