Photo Story Export Profiles

Windows Photo Story provides several presets or "profiles" for you to use when saving your story to a movie file. What you may not know is that these are just files that sit in your Profiles folder. They are in XML format but you only need to know that if you are creating your own. Otherwise, simply download the profile and place them in the appropriate folder.

If anyone would like to donate the profiles that they've made, please let me know. I'd love to offer as many as possible, particularly widescreen ones.
