Slideshow Maker HD - Photo Movie App Reviews
More complete than before but more complicated also… Fade out for the music just does not respond. I gave up to find how it works with this new version.
waste of money and time
you can’t rearrange your photos and the music doesn’t play well, skips a lot. don’t waste your time or money on this app
This program has potential, but is lacking in a lot of things and not worth the cost. Sure wish I hadn’t spent the money on it. Some examples of problems with it: You can not control the movement of pictures. If the program decides to zoom in on the wrong part of a picture, there is nothing you can do to correct it to make sure parts of a picture are not being cut off that you don’t want to lose. If you have several slide shows linked to each other and you have a custom background behind them, the background disappears and a standard gray background appears for a second or two between the shows, so not continuity between shows. Pictures that are in the background either preparing to be zoomed in on, or just zoomed out from, will randomely disappear and either leave a blank space or have another picture pop on. No fading just jumping pictures in the background.
It Crashes Eveytime I tried it.
I have a Mac Studio M2 Ultra and I tired this software and I just did a sample test of 10 pics and a short song. for back ground and the min I play it to see how far I got, it disappears and shut down. Guess I wasted My $14.95.
What A rip !
Wasted my money on this one ! Should have did more research... (my Bad). Will now do a complete uninstall of the junk ap
Excelent
The software is excelent in every way with one exception. It needs the ability to repeat the video when reaching the end of the video. I could not find a way to view the slide show of photos without creating a video of the project.
Terrible
This application doesn't even work. The preview is broken. You don't know what you're getting on the export because you can tell what you're making. The transitions don't work as shown in the preview. The slide timings don't make any sense, alternately duration, what the heck does that even mean. This thing looks like it was written in the early 2000's. It makes no sense on how to use. The documentation is useless. Money back please!
amazing app
this is the one most amazing photo edition i use is simple easy and ready to go geat job
Great App
This is a easy and very user friendly App.
Works great
Did video and added my own music. Just one bug when you add music, go back to first screen.. if you try to play on the music edit page it will crash
Crashes on M1 Apple Silicon - Can't Use It
This App will open, I can import pictures but after that it crashes right away evrytime, I'm on a 16gb Apple Silicon M1 Air, I'll be requestiong my money back.
not happy
It was easy to load the photos and to use the text app. I can not see any way to preview my vidieo. I was going to burn it to a DVD disc and there is no way to do this. That is what I wanted when I bought the product.
This slideshow maker didn't work at all.
I've made slideshows befofre and this one doesn't work. I did not crop the picture when I tried and I was following the directions. Is there any way to get help for this app?
Frustrated and out money
None of the support links works. The help guide isn't very detailed. The video is only showing pictures for a split scond with no transition. I hae it set to 5 second exposre with a 2 second transiton. Nothing is working and ther is no way to reach out for support. Very disapointed.
Easy but beginners beware
I have enjoyed this app and have done 2 slideshows for people I love. There are things I could have used more guidance on to get it as I would prefer. The music was the hardest for me to work to get it right and it could have been better.
Thank YOU SO MUCH
Thank You so much making a simple beautiful program to use quickly. Thank YOU.
Easy to use with a few limitations
This app has been very helpful in producing a good quality, easy to make video. It seems to have improved somewhat since the last time I used it. I do have some suggestions for improvement (although I admit that the lack may be in my own understanding of how to use the features). I wish music could be easily faded out and other music faded in. I thought I saw that feature but it did not work as I had hoped. Also, it would be nice if one photo in the lineup could be made to fill several spots (so that the video remains on one picture for an extended period). Otherwise, it is pretty straight forward for an inexperienced IT person like me! Thanks!
Very Creative
There are almost an infinite number of possibilities with this app to make some very creative slide shows..much morethan a basic app that I purchased previousy! Fairly easy to follow.. I woud recommend this to anyone
Worth every penny!
This app helped me out so much. I'm not very technology capable and had to make a slideshow for a memorial. I tried office, and G/S but you have to spend hours on each picture - (Sizing/Background/Colors) I was able to make a slide show with 110 pictures, multiple songs, and video clips in less than 2hours!
Only Fair
I had several ssues with this app including adding music from iTunes, dealing the transitions, adding increasing durations among others. I contacted Xiaolei Zhang and he got back to me three days later and tried to help me. The price was fair but this is not a premier product. I sure wish it was as I am still looking for an easy way to create a slideshow from my iPhotos.
Love it so I baught the full version
I can with it's help make awesome community videos, educational videos and informative newsletter videos for our community how cool is that. And you don't have to get the full version but I wanted to. I totally love it its the only one we use.
Awesome Tool
This is so easy and it makes great videos. I created an end of school year video and everyone loved it!
App is good
I really enjoy this app. I don't make a lot of video slideshows but it is really easy to use when I need it. I purchased this app back in 2016 when I made my first video. I paid for it because I did not want the watermark on my video. I made another video recently, and went to save it to upload it and I was informed that I did not own the full version. The entire app disappeared from my computer and it was replaced with the "lite" version. This video project is unfortunately due asap, so I was forced to spend the $15 again to upload the video. I am unhappy with that.
I WANT MY MONEY BACK
This produt was useless and did not work well with what i needed it to do. i would like a refund back to me.
I
enjoyed using this app. User friendly and works with my Mac and iphone. The support was responsive and helpful when I had a question.
not enough instructions
It's okay. Wont let you lag on certain pics. Its all or none and no where does it tell you how to delete a song once you bring it in. GRRRR
Questionable
I purchaed this app and when I open it and try to put any pictures in, it crashes. Now even if I don't it crashes. Tech support is a email address, we will see how long it takes to hear back.
I love this program
The only problem I have is this, how do you copy this to a dvd
works great
I was a little scepticle at first but once I started using it it was great, could use an downloadable quick start manual.
Wasted my time and money
App is not worth the price. Causes winding noise on my 2019 macbook pro. Issue occurs when scolling up and down throught the picture library on the app. Apple won't refund me for the purchase either. Learned my lesson, I need to do more research next time.
Excellent Software
Did exactly what I needed do without costing me an arm and a leg.
Amazing and easy app
As someone who likes to take a lot of pictures I was looking for an easy slideshow app to help make fun videos for the family. This took no time at all and was such a fun thing to put together!
So easy to use
I have done a year end slideshow for the past 6 years, adding photos, text and music. It usually takes me at least 4 hours, using this app it only took an hour and it was ready to go.
Just started using it
I need to do slideshows weekly to go with our You Tube episodes. I like the variety of choices and ease of use.
Great Slide Show Maker
This was very easy to use.
Great App!
Easy to use, this slideshow maker is better than the expensive ones.
Great App
Used it for a Sport Banquet last year everyone loved it & again only wish i could add short videos
easy to learn and use
I have used several different programs for slide show presentations and needed something new and eay to learn, ON APPLE!! This worked out great!! Thanks ! Project completed in just 2 days !
The user experience is horrible
Certain things need to be automated like if I import a song and photos, it should automatically create a slideshow of photos for the duration of the song with random transformations. This app is not worth more than $1. I have used slideshow apps in the past, never had such a terrible experience. If I could get my money back, I would!
GREAT little slideshow maker
Quick, easy, good templates. Got the job done just fine & I have 30 years in video production, so know a good one from a bad one. This is a good one for simple, good looking, and quick slide shows!
Great slideshow maker
Good work guys! Only downside i can give is that I never have seen an update to your templates.
Slidehow maker
Slideshows are good, however it is very difficult to remove text once they are placed in.
Slideshow maker is fast & easy
I have had to use Slideshow maker in situations that were a "rush". This program is easy and simple to use. I would recommend this to anyone. Love it!
Simple - Efficient
A simple and effiient slideshow maker. Largely intuitive. English instructions need to be clearer. Worth the modest price.
hope its going to been easy
havent been able to do much seem to not work will for me I hope today i can figure it out
slideshow maker
Their should be control that allow you to manipulate (i.e. turn the pic)
Good Slide Show Maker
It's a little confusing at first but once you figure it out it actually works very well. Made a great show with neat transitions and music from iTunes, would recommend.
Best and easiest Slideshow Maker I've found!
This made it so easy to make a cool video slideshow for my wife's 40th. Thanks!! SO Much easier than iMovie or others that I've tried.
Great basic slideshow program worth every penny!
It gets the job done in an easy to navigate format. Results are very satisfying to an amateur like me. I don’t need all the bells and whistles of a professional’s program. This is a winner!
Over priced
This app does not have the capability you might expect for $15. It does not have the ability to adjust exposure time for each individual frame nor will it allow to over lap songs. It is easy to use and can create a slide show in a short amount of time but there are hundreds of free apps that will do the same. The customer support ios non existent and they don't publish their names to take responsibility, instead they say imature things like created by: some guy. I'd move on to the next option here.
Slideshow Maker HD
I love how easy this program is to use. Being a novice....I needed that.
