MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD
MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD lets you turn digital images into a slide show, complete with a soundtrack, for burning to disk and display on all types of monitor including 16:9 widescreen TVs.
The software puts a collection of images together as a slide show almost instantly, but you have to add text, fades, and zooms in the appropriate places. Beyond that, it offers a wide range of features, with editing functions that include auto-exposure/color, red-eye correction, and white balance. A key feature is the capacity to add a recorded commentary synchronized to the pictures.
Dozens of special effects are inevitable in good slide show software and PhotoStory does not disappoint in this department, with dozens of transitions including a 3D page turner, morphing, and picture-in-picture effects. It can simulate video camera movements with zooms and pans. Neither does it lack "fun elements" like speech bubbles and cartoons. Output is to CD or DVD, or to the MAGIX Online Album, a free website for online slide shows & streaming videos.
Comment
MAGIX PhotoStory has been constantly updated by its German developer with frequent issues to keep up with the pace of change in this sector. If you have a flair for creating a story from still images -- and that means have a dramatic sense as well as the technical know-how -- MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD is a great tool to use.
MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD has been universally praised by reviewers. A deluxe version with more effects and templates is also available.
