Photodex ProShow Producer was so fun to play with, it was hard to pull myself away to write this review. ProShow Producer is so easy to use and produces the most amazing slideshows that it makes me want to go through all my photos and use it to create more and more slideshows.

Introduction

Photodex, the makers of ProShow Producer, claim its product will produce professional-quality slideshows, and it certainly delivers on that claim.

Photodex ProShow Producer creates amazing slideshows. You can rotate a photo, zoom in or out, and pan along a photo, as well as use many more effects that make your photos almost come to life.

Photodex ProShow Producer is full of many features yet it is easy to use them. Within less than a half hour I created a very impressive slideshow that I couldn’t wait to show to people. I then spent more enjoyable hours tweaking every bit of my slideshow because it was so fun and easy to do.

Photodex ProShow Producer has many more features that take a while longer to learn, but I was impressed with how much you could do in a short time.

Price to Value
Rating Good

What's Hot:&nbspPhotodex ProShow Producer is not inexpensive at $249. However, I think it is well worth this price. The end results are very impressive and extremely professional looking.

Installation & Setup
Rating Good

What's Hot: The software can be downloaded from the website. It took about two minutes to install, and then required a restart of the PC. I had no problems with the installation. I installed it on my PC running Vista 64bit.

What's Hot:&nbsp

Photodex ProShow Producer enables you to make stunning professional looking slideshows. You can incorporate movement into still photos and choose from an amazing selection of transitions. You can output in a number of different formats:

DVD.Share Show Online.Video File in a number of formats: AVI compressed. AVI Uncompressed. Flash Video. MPEG1. MPEG2. QuickTime. Windows Media.Streaming Web Show.VCD Disc.PC Executable.Flash Web Show.Auto Run CD.Email Executable.PC Screen Saver.[ See Screenshot: Output Options.jpg] You can add and edit music tracks. You can also add sounds, such as voiceovers, to individual slides. When you add a music track, it will show you how long that track plays compared to the length of the slide show. With a single click you can sync the time of the music track with the slideshow so it automatically adjusts the times of each slide and each transition. You can edit individual slides to take out red-eye, add contrast or colors. Changing the opacity, the brightness and so on and so forth are also available options.What's Not:&nbspThe option to email a show was troublesome because it didn’t work by simply choosing this feature. The help section explained that you had to configure this option because of firewall constraints. Even after doing this,however, my email provider rejected the file as being too large an attachment.
