SlideShow 6 -Advantages:
* Create your own movies from images
You took beautiful images but they don't move. The illusion of a lively movement is easily created by facilitating the possibilities of animation in SlideShow.
Zoom into a segment of the image with a sweep, let a panorama pass in front of you, move an image over another along a path.
A cinematic animation is quickly created, fresh and lively, just like real life.
* Burning images with music and text on DVD
This is a task that you will master immediately. You took photos and have assigned captions, you have chosen background music. Now you create a DVD that you can play in every DVD-player and, of course on a PC.
* Play images and video clips in a slide show
Most of today's digital cameras are capable to do both, taking pictures and capturing video clips.
Both belong in your slide show. If you add photos and video clips to your show, you can cross-fade them and move them around arbitrarily. Zoom into the video inside the video. Only your imagination sets limits to your creativity.
* Edit images without changing them - non-destructive image editing
The snapshot hit home, but you want to edit your picture for a certain effect. Inside SlideShow you edit the picture and save it, you edit it again and again and reuse everywhere, even multiple times, just where you want it. And always will the original image stay as it was.
* SlideShow hits the throttle - hardware acceleration
Ingeneous components are assembled under the hood. DirectX, the Windows standard for hardware acceleration directly out of the graphics card, morphes sluggishly crawling large-screen shows into breathtaking action thrillers.
And if you computer has multiple cores they will split the wourkload impactfully. The result is a smooth flow of your anumated show, just like in a Hollywood movie. Now let's say: Aaaand action!
* Widescreen slide shows in 16:9-format
Those who want to create slide shows for widescreen TVs finds the best options in AquaSoft SlideShow 6. Slide shows can be burnt on DVD directly in 16:9-format, but the software also helps while desining the show. With options for image cropping or withs masks and collages, camera pans and panarama views can the wide display be usefully filled.
* Telling stories with pictures
A picture says more than a thousand words, and you have quite a few of them. Just back to back they are boring. Therefore, animate images, bundle several of them in collages or chapters/themes, assign cross-fading, zoom in and out, rotate them*, let them move along invisible strings, and much more. Naturally you can underscore your story with spoken comments, assign background music and add animated text. This way, by using a few simple mouse-clicks, you present your adventures lively, witty and with esprit.
* Include all the videos you want
In SlideShow videos are treated like pictures. They move and they get moved. Your photos are fine, but you also made videos or found them on a website. You want to include both into your shows. Easily, even more than one - the Timeline is the right tool for you.
* Multiple pictures at the same time
A picture can look outstanding, but you don't go into a gallery each day. To present multiple photos at the same time makes your show exciting and fascinating. It is very easy to arrage pictures to collages or to animate and play them from different tracks at the same time.
* Dancing characters or charmed photos
Pictures say more than a thousand words, but words have their place, too. Texts and captions enhance your show if they come flying into the picture, if the characters do a round dance through the show or accompany the picture message with a multitude of awesome effects assigned.
* Bitmap effects via Drag&Drop
Bitmap effects make your pictures more interesting or give them a more harmonic impression inside the slide show. Starting with an unobtrusive shadow, over a soft mirroring or a Polaroid effect to extravagant masks and frames everything is possible. Of course the effects can be edited or you can create your own*.
