Slideshow Maker Video & Photo 4+

Would recommend

It did what I needed done, not as well as the program on my Mac desktop which is not working. It would be nice to have instructions. Like after you pick your pictures, you have to select them in the order you want as you go. This is not bad if you have 20-30 pictures but I had 500. Also, not being able to adjust each individual frame size was frustrating, I had to make do. You cannot move the pics within the frame at all, so if you have a tightly cropped pic, you will probably have a missing head or someone’s sleeve only. However, wedding is in a few days and I needed to complete my project. I’m going with two stars simply because of the editing options. However if you consider all of these things before you start your project, it may help and it is a nice video now that it is complete. I also added my own music.

Hi, tap on Manage at the bottom of the edit screen and you can drag and drop your media in to the desired order. Also on the edit screen, there is an edit button overlaying the bottom left of your video. The first button will let you fit or fill your image so you can show the the whole content of the image. There are more editing features in this panel as well.

Slide show

It’s pretty simple but there could be options to make it more user friendly. I’d like to be able to put my photos in a different order more easily then it allows - I don’t like having to delete the photo and adding it back into the slide show somewhere else . You should be able to manage all photos in the slide show and change order simple. I would like more options to control the photo between each slide and the times between each slide and not have it apply to the entire slide show. The music selection that comes with the full paid version is very limited and very weak none of it is any good in my opinion and I used my own. I also would like to have the option to use the full size version of my images not just for fb or social media. I’m using my slide show for family wedding and I don’t like being forced to crop into the specs of social networking sizes. The app is basic but it’s workable for the price it needs some fine tuning. I only used it because my Mac desktop is currently down I needed a slideshow and didn’t want to pay 40-50 like some of the other apps out there since I have better ones on my desktop that hopefully I’ll be able to use soon.

Tap the manage button at the bottom of the edit screen, then drag and drop you media into the desired order. To change length of transitions between media, tap the edit button (bottom left overlaying image). There are a variety of options to edit. Tap the "?" button for tutorial videos on how to use the app.

Perfect!

This app is extremely easy to use. Just click “new project” upload your media (photos and videos!) and it compiles them into a slideshow. There is options to add music, rotate pictures that are sideways, clip videos to make them shorter, and to increase or decrease the speed at which it moves through the slideshow. You can also have the app place the photos in chronological order or put them into the slideshow at random. This is literally everything I was hoping for in an easy to use format! The cost is 7.99 per year. They were very up front about that. No gimmicks or tricks. My only critique: when you’re editing a video clip and you’ve made the change it takes you back tot he beginning of the slideshow instead of starting where you left off. With pictures it doesn’t do the is. A little annoying but not a deal breaker.
