What is FotoMagico?
FotoMagico is an application for creating and presenting live multimedia slideshows. The primary goal is to present your pictures with the best possible image quality that your display device offers. Typical display devices are your computer's screen, a TV set, or projector.
Aside from high image quality, the focus lies on easy and powerful authoring of your presentation. FotoMagico provides a simple, yet elegant and intuitive user interface. Using FotoMagico, you can:
- Create stunning slideshow presentations.
- Use photos from an iPhoto, Aperture, or Adobe Lightroom library or any folder on a local drive.
- Zoom, move, and rotate the images to highlight the most important areas of your photos.
- Animate your photos using 'Pan & Zoom'. This type of animation is also known as the Ken Burns effect.
- Add video to your slideshow. All file formats that can be read and played by QuickTime are supported by FotoMagico.
- Add titles to your slideshow to create a compelling narrative.
- Use music and sound effects from your iTunes library to create an appropriate atmosphere for your slideshow.
- Record narration directly in FotoMagico while your slideshow is playing.
- Precisely control timing and other details of your slideshow.
- Control your slideshows interactively during playback.
- Remote control your slideshow with an iPhone or the remote control that shipped with your Mac.
- Share your slideshows with others in a variety of formats.
If you want to share your finished slideshows with other people who do not have FotoMagico installed on their computer, you have a host of options that let you do just that, e.g. creating a standalone player, creating a DVD, or publishing your slideshow to YouTube. Please refer to Sharing Slideshows for more information.
