Create your own movies from still shotsEven the most beautiful of pictures can be enhanced, if animation and a few special effects are added to it. The illusion of movement is easily created by employing the many tools and effects in AquaSoft SlideShow 7’s array. Zoom into the image, and then pan across to enjoy a panoramic view of the picture. Then, set it in motion along a predefined or customized movement path, creating a cinematic animation that is sure to be a hit! When your production is complete, effortlessly burn it to DVD with our intuitive and easy handling software.
Burning imagesQuickly master DVD burning with our easy-to-use software. The end-result will be a DVD that can be played on any DVD player, including your computer’s player, of course.
Present images and video clips in a slide showWhile many modern cameras are able to take both still and action shots, take your creativity a step further and insert these images into AquaSoft SlideShow. Cross-fade them, arrange and then re-arrange them to depict the emotions captured during the event you photographed. Your imagination is the only limit!
Utilize images without altering them in any way:"Edit" images and video clips without altering your original photos or videos. It is safe to apply changes to your objects, because your images themselves do not get changed. Rather, any modifications you make are saved in the slideshow file and are applied to objects "on the fly" while playing the slideshow.
AquaSoft SlideShow hits the throttle—hardware accelerationTake a peek under the “hood” of AquaSoft SlideShow to find ingenious parts that integrate seamlessly with DirectX, the Windows standard for hardware acceleration. This speedy combination incites sluggish large-screen shows to turn into vibrant, breathtaking action thrillers. If your computer has multiple cores, they will split the workload, causing your presentation to ride very smoothly. Now that’s no tragedy!
Widescreen option (16:9) availableYour ideal show can now fit into a widescreen format, either when burning it to DVD or even when designing it. There are even special effects available that work especially well with this format: image cropping, masks, collages, camera pans, and panoramic views, for instance.
Record history and tell stories with imagesIf a picture is worth more than a thousand words, think of all the stories your photos could tell! In an album by themselves they are a bit humdrum, but when bundled together and animated with a few special effects, they start to express the thoughts and feelings you were experiencing when you first clicked your camera. Do this by animating images; bundling several of them together in collages, chapters, or themes; using multiple images to cross-fade; zoom in and out; and, if you have AquaSoft SlideShow Ultimate, you can even rotate images. If you have a microphone, you can even add your own personal voiceover clips! These results are easy to achieve, and are just a few mouse clicks away.
Insert an unlimited number of videos and picturesManipulate videos just as easily as you would pictures, by moving them around and organizing them with the timeline. There is no limit to the number of video clips you can insert. Viewing and presenting pictures is also quite easy with AquaSoft SlideShow, and when you use multiple pictures at the same time, your shows are lively and stunning! You are not limited to using just one picture at a time—put them in collages, animate them, and combine them to create great illusory affects!
Characters with, ah, character!Enhance your picture show with just the right type of text. Your text can speak for itself by rolling, flying, crawling, or otherwise making its appearance onto your screen. Dozens of special text effects are available to achieve just the results you seek.
Bitmap effects using Drag and DropBitmap effects enliven your photos, and make photos blend a bit better together, lending a sense of unity to them even when gathered from multiple sources. Use the included effects just as they are, edit these effects, or even create your own! A few of the most popular image effects are mirror, shadow, and tinting (changing regular photos to sepia or to black and white, for instance).*.
