Ask The Kampers - Mac Slideshow Software

Hey there friends! Here is our first installment of our new Wednesday feature called “Ask The Kampers”

“Hey guys!

I just had a question about video slideshow software. In the past I’ve used imovie and idvd for slideshows. I work on an Apple computer. I’m curious if you have any other recommendations for video slideshow software that is solid.

Thanks for your time!
Liane”

Answer - Hey there Liane =) Thank you for your question. In the world o’ Mac there are a few options for creating slideshows. The combination of iMovie / iDvd is one of the easiest, but of course how the slideshows are outputted at slightly limited in terms of transitions etc.

iLife - Apple just released a new version of iLife, which includes the newest version of iPhoto which includes a pile of new slideshow display options which can all be exported for DVD.

Show It Fast - Another very very popular option is Show It Web. Show it Web is extremely popular because not only can you manually time slideshows to your music, you can output the slideshow easily for web. To get a video (DVD) version of the slideshow, there is an additional expense, but it is easy software with great flexibility.

Animoto - For something a little more funky, but with less customization there is a piece of web based software called Animoto. If you purchase a yearly pro account, you have many delivery options including web, mobile video, as well as a download DVD image option.

Fotomagio - If you want full customization, there is also Fotomagico. This software lets you totally customize your slideshow, but it also requires a lot more work, as you need to completely build your slideshow timeline.

Hope that helps Lianne =) Also just a little proactive disclosure, we are not affiliated with any of the above listed software, it is just software we use, or have used in the past.
