The purchasing process for this software is similar to the experience you will find with Adobe. I am sure the developers of this software realize what a prize they have, which is possibly why they devote so much effort into protecting their software sales. iPhoto and iMovie cannot compare to what you can do with this program.
#FOTOMAGICO VERSUS IMOVIE PROFESSIONAL#
I have never found a slideshow software as professional and easy to use as Fotomagico. but play it back through your S-Video out in 800×600, 720 x 480…or even 640 x 480 Overscanned. Believe me… if the TV has S-Video and your playing your presentation in 800 x 600 or 720 x 480… it will look awesome…… especially 720×480 which is TV native resolution (Very important to know this) its ok if your preentation was made at higher resolutions…. VGA and Computer screens always feel not quite right. everything just feels right on a Big TV CRT or not…. Now for those here saying why would a professional fotographer show his work on an Analog TV? Well because of versatility and ease of use and the feel of it…. The results will be exactly as you see it played! Keep in Mind though that Apple has removed all capabilities of using S-Video or analog Video on all New Macbooks, Mac Mini,s and iMacs………you have to pay for a $200 or more Scan convertor now to get anything decent….

I only know one way: Connect your Powerbook or Macbook Pro to an external DVD recorder Via the DVI to S-Video Convertor…… Press Play on FotoMagico and record on your DVD recorder! You can do the same with an DV camera that has S-Video input. If You want the Highest DVD rsolution possible…. Thanks so much for all past and future advice. I was hoping for something thing that would playback on my Mac in the same quality as per an iphoto slideshow. I don’t really want to stump up for Pro unless I can be guaranteed the quality is what I am after. However it seems that to do this I need the Pro version of Fotomagico – is this correct? I was really really disappointed with the quality on playback in the home version (very very jerky and my photos looked like something off an instant camera). Quality of the photos is all important so I have come to the conclusion (bu am happy to be proved wrong) that it would be best to provide a file to be viewed on the computer (Mac or PC) rather tnah TV which is not a problem for the recipients. Basically I wanted to do the odd slideshow of my photos that I could share with interested friends. I found the above very informative and on the basis I purchased Fotomagico 3.0 Home version. You can listen to this review on the Mac ReviewCast #215.
#FOTOMAGICO VERSUS IMOVIE LICENSE#
A single-user license is $29 and a single-user license for the pro version is $149. They always ask me afterwards how I did it and they always want to know where they can get their own copy of FotoMagico. The best compliment paid to this application is by the “official” photographers at the weddings I have participated in. This is normally how I do my wedding slideshows. Of course you can also just play it through the built-in player. Once you have created your slideshow, you can export it, burn it to a DVD, turn it into a screensaver, or put it on your iPod or Apple TV. While putting pictures in iMovie is much easier now, for speed, granular control of the Ken Burns effect, and overall presentation, I think FotoMagico still has iMovie beat. Each is independently controlled and adjusted. You can include multiple tracks and even the voiceover track. With the pro version you can get much more control over the audio. Lower thirds would be very useful.Īnother nice feature is the Aperture exporter plug in. Now that Boinx has teased me with this video support however, I’d like to see them take it further. Organizing and creating your slideshows is also now easier with an improved storyboard. You can set start and end points and even animate movies just as you would a photograph. You can now insert movies in your slideshows. The newest version blurs the lines between FotoMagico as a slideshow application and a video application. You can similarly adjust rotation and insert text. My workload has always been to drag the pictures in, sort them, adjust the Ken Burns effect for each picture, and drop in music. FotoMagico has sliders sliders for the before and after position of your photographs that make this very simple. The application allows you to easily set transitions and animates individual slides with the Ken Burns effect.

Take a folder full of pictures and drag it in FotoMagico and you have your slideshow. It is very easy to operate with a similar “drag-and-drop” paradigm you see across the Mac platform. FotoMagico produces professional quality slideshow presentations. The latest version, FotoMagico 3, adds several enhancements.
