Pretty decent and basic app which does what it claims pretty flawlessly but, exactly as the REGISTRY CLEANING and VIDEO CONVERSION field, I'm afraid that this is another SUPER SUPER SATURATED ARENA nowadays....do you agree with me dudes?

* DVD slideshow GUI (==> Softpedia Editor Pick & My Personal First Choice)
Best FREE slideshow creator ever created with over 245 transitions and 100 special effects to add on your entire slideshow. With this magic FREE tool you can even add and edit music, 35 motion backgrounds, borders and subtitles.

* Microsoft Photostory 3
Awesome FREE app by Microsoft designed to create professional slideshows from your still pictures. It supports any kind of photo format, offering you a preview window and some basic editing functions. It lets you add text over your photos and even create songs on the go to add on your final slideshow.

* Simply Slideshow
Great slideshow maker which can play literally thousands of photos with a very small footprint. It can display images in Pan & Zoom effects with tons of nice and unique options, such as the "Wallpaper Slideshow" feature, which allows users to have their favorite slideshows playing in the background while surfing the web.

Other great FREE slideshow makers are also these (Google them as I cannot post any download link today):

Bolide Free Slideshow Creator
IMGDissolver
Ezvid Free Slideshow Maker
Moleskinsoft SlideShow Maker
Socusoft Photo to Video Converter Free version

And to create compelling MOVIES from your pics, just download & install "Windows Live Movie Maker" by Microsoft and enjoy (can also be used to create a slideshow of photos with music and transition effects in wmv format)

Oh yeah...it looks like all of the FREE ALTERNATIVES mentioned above are far superior to this GAOTD, so charging money for a basic app like this (40 bucks?? Come on!!)is sheer madness, as long as you are aware of them of course (but I'm here just for this...LOL!!)

My 0.0000000000000000000000002 cents....

To LARRY & Rahul : Instead of complaining about the people who vote but do not comment the software. Maybe you should try it and then comment on it.

I tried it. I find it easy to use. The templates and effects are a little basic (I've seen better) but still nice.

Installed and registered with no problems.

Thank you.

Specifics I don't like - the steps are clear cut, but not in the logical intuitive order most users will expect, lack of transitions/options, silly added on "effects", lack of customizable templates...I could go on, but you get the idea. Per Rahul's request, I don't know if it makes me "credible", but many of our non-techie customers buy flash drive pendants and ask us to create a custom slideshow for them to turn the pendant into a kind of digital scrapbook so I've tried dozens of slideshow programs looking for a perfect one. (And, yes, if this had been it, Bedazzled USB would have bought a copy for commercial use.) Besides being generally light on features, the price of $39.95 is pretty steep for this type of product. I also do some freelance web work and use Coffee Cup Photo Gallery ($23 USD) not just for galleries, but slideshows. I'm not saying it's the best, but I'm used to it, and I'm spoiled by the customization options when compared to something like today's giveaway. Maybe if I hadn't used so many similar programs I wouldn't be as harsh a critic.

The program installed and registred perfectly well on Win 7 - 64 bit.

I have used several programs similar to this and find it good to newbies usings it. If your are looking for more advanced program maybe this is not it, but it will use very well for all other purposes. Since you get it for FREE, it's a great offer and program.

Flash Slideshow Creator installed and registered without problems on Win 7 64-bit.

Does what it says on the box. Simple and intuitive interface (ugly imho but that doesn't count) and, if you have the codecs, lots of input formats are supported. Apart from SWF you can also export to HTML, EXE, screensaver or upload it. Haven't tried those options yet but the SWF itself turned out nice, good quality. You can get lots of extra templates from their site and with a little fantasy create your own in JPG format. There are also lots of tutorials.

I found a review on Softpedia and on CNet (user review) and they're quite positive about Flash Slideshow Creator.

It's a good program but very basic in its slideshow editing features. It's primarily for novices and/or people who just want to create a slideshow fast without the hassle of complex keyed actions and scripting. I think $$39.95 is a rather high price to ask, although it is a semi-lifetime license. I say semi because after a year you can't upgrade for free anymore but Flash Slideshow Creator stays fully registered and featured.

Uninstalled with Revouninstaller and only the templates weren't removed afaict. Thumbs up nevertheless. I'd simply like more features and control and Flash Slideshow Creator doesn't cut it for me. But it's a nice program and a keeper for whoever needs something like this. Thanks iPxSoft and GOTD.
