Best Slideshow Software Reviews

Nowadays in the digital world, we all have zillions of digital photos on our hard disk. Most of us will never use them after taking these photos. But why not collect some favourite ones and make a photo slideshow with your own creativity? It's the unique way to backup photos as well as preserve photo memories. You needn't bunchs of software to make a photo slideshow and burn DVD, just use some all-in-one DVD slideshow maker. I'll recommend you three software I've used before in the following article for you to choose the best slideshow software. Also check out here for free movie making software.

1. Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe $69.95

When you install this ultimate DVD slideshow maker, and run it for the first time, you may find that the slide show software includes "Standard" and "Advanced" two modes. To make DVD slideshow, you can choose either mode, "Standard" mode gives you the simplicity to make slideshow from templates, while "Advanced" mode has more customization features, like duration, transtition, Ken-Burns, etc.

Intro:
This is a powerful yet easy-to-use photo slideshow software to create stunning DVD slideshow and home movies with photos, video clips and music. I like the transition effects very much and always use the effects to make hollywood-style movies.

Target Users:
Beginners, photography amateurs, all family users.

Pros:

1. 200+ eye-catching 2D/3D transition effects and Ken-Burn effects.
2. 160+ free DVD menu templates comes with Full registered version to match any occasions.
3. All-in-one burning tool to generate high-quality DVD for watching on TV.
4. Quick and helpful customer service.

Cons:

1. Can't burn more than 1 DVD one time. But it's ok because this is a DVD authoring software not a burning software. Besides it allows you to save the DVD files on your computer, then you can burn any copies you like using burning tool.
2. The 160 DVD menu templates are not enough for me. I like spending a little more time to customize a personalized menu in the software.

2. Proshow Gold $89.95

Intro:
I must say this slideshow software is kind of hard for me. It's too professional to use. With tons of feature options can be used to make a professional slideshow but you should spend days on it. However, if you want to learn first after a deep learning curve, you could make excellent slideshow to share.

Target Users:
Photography enthusiasm

Pros:

1. Customization for motion effect. Worth a try.
2. Offer nearly every feature but some of them we won't use.
3. Share online by uploading to the program’s sharing site.

Cons:

1. Single-screen approach and unique terminology make it hard to learn, at least for me.
2. Lack of tutorials and help manuals.

3. Google’s Picasa

Intro:
Picasa is the free photo edigint software download from Google that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. It provides basic slideshow making functions, but lacks most of features that you need to use for making a personalized photo slideshow.

Target Users:
Teenage Beginners

Pros:

1. Locate and organize all the photos on your computer.
2. Make photo slideshow and collage with a few simple clicks.
3. Share your photos with others through email.

Cons:

1. Can't burn photo slideshow to DVD with menus
2. Only one effect to make photo slideshow and collage. No creativity and personality. Everyone make nearly the same photo slideshow and collages.

Summary:
In short, I will pick Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe as the best video slideshow maker if you’re looking to make simple, good-looking slideshow. With additional features, quick and useful help support and results that are more professional and more ways to share its slideshow, Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder would be a nice choice to reckon with.
