Ever want to really jazz up your photo and movie collections by compiling a slideshow that goes way beyond iPhoto, Keynote and many other programs? There is a new version out that says Your Audience Will Never Fall Asleep Again!
Boinx Software FotoMagico is an application for creating and presenting live multimedia slideshows. The primary goal is to present our pictures with the best possible image quality that our display device offers. Typical display devices are our computer's screen, a TV set, or projector.
Aside from high image quality, the focus lies on easy and powerful authoring of your presentation. FotoMagico provides a simple, yet elegant and intuitive user interface. Using FotoMagico, I can:
- Create stunning slideshow presentations;
- Use photos from an iPhoto, Aperture, or Adobe Lightroom library or any folder on any local drive;
- Zoom, move, and rotate the images to highlight the most important areas of my photos;
- Animate my photos using "Pan & Zoom" (this type of animation is also known as the Ken Burns effect);
- Add video to your slideshow (all file formats that can be read and played by QuickTime are supported by FotoMagico);
- Add titles to my slideshow to create a compelling narrative;
- Use music and sound effects from my iTunes library to create an appropriate atmosphere for your slideshow;
- Record narration directly in FotoMagico while my slideshow is playing;
- Precisely control timing and other details of my slideshow;
- Control my slideshows interactively during playback;
- Remote control my slideshow with an iPhone or the remote control that shipped with my Mac;
- Share my slideshows with others in a variety of formats; and
- Much much more to provide a very professional look.
If I want to share my finished slideshows with other people who do not have FotoMagico installed on their computer, I have a host of options that let me do just that, such as creating a standalone player, creating a DVD, or publishing my slideshow to a .Mac webpage. This program is just full of exciting ways to make my work interesting.
This is a heavy-weight program with many features you can read more about at http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico. A variety of versions is available, from the Home Single User License of only $29 (Family edition $49) up to the Pro Single User license of $149 (Family edition $269). Boinx also produces many other useful and powerful products like BoinxTV, iStopMotion, PhotoPresenter, Mouseposé, iVeZeen, and even an iPhone app called You Gotta See This. Specific tutorials and one-to-one coaching is also available.
FotoMagico 3 is well worth getting if you want professional results from your hard work.
