However, the real innovation is the output formats: You can’t just burn your slideshows to DVDs that will play on any home DVD player. You can also generate HD (high-definition) slideshows that you can upload to YouTube and MyVideo, or as MPEG2, MPEG4 or Windows Media video files that will play on pretty much any computer available. And since the slideshows are saved in a single file sharing them couldn’t be easier.

Slideshow Studio HD lets you share your images with anyone, anywhere, now. And the slideshows look like they were created by a professional graphic artist – because they were.

Point and click speed meets your creativityIf you’re in a hurry you just need to select your photos, select one of the great graphical themes and then click ProduceSlideshow. You’ll be asked to choose your output format and whether you want HD or normal definition but that’s it.

If you want to get creative you can insert your own text and graphics on top of your slides, and also geometric shapes, photos overlaid on photos, text arranged along curves, tables, captions and more. You can also add subtitles, and “brand” your slideshows with logos in the corner. You can choose from a score of great graphical transitions between your slides, or have random transitions for every slide. You can add multiple background music or other audio tracks and have the length of the slideshow automatically match the length of your music.

Slideshow Editor

The Slideshow Editor has an intuitive timeline that shows the entire slideshow sequence graphically. You get a live preview and can edit components on the timeline with Drag & Drop. You can rotate, resize, show and hide all the elements you add to your slides, with individual fade-in and fade-out for each element.

Or you can just choose a theme and let Slideshow Studio HD do all the work for you. Again, you choose.
