p.1 #1 · Best Photo Slideshow Software for Mac?


Can anyone recommend a high quality piece of software for putting together photo slide shows for clients? I would be looking for something that produces very professional looking slide shows (ie top quality transition effects, backgrounds, etc). I've used Aperture 3 and Lightroom 3 but they do not give quite the quality I am looking for (although they are decent).

A quick search from this forum shows that Proshow seems to be well recommended but I think it is a Windows only program. Are there any other good ones out there for a Mac?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried out Boinx fotomagico? I have played with it a couple times and it's pretty intuitive.

I agree that photodex is the best solution, however you are correct in that it is for windows only. I think Macs come with a slide show program built in. Other then that you may try an online option such as Animoto.

I have been creating slideshows for over 30 years. I have started a website about creating photo slideshows and have reviewed 3 slideshow programs so far. Two of them are free.

A review of one slideshow program called Photo to Movie might be of particular interest. It works on Mac or PC and is very versatile. I use it a lot on my Mac. Here is the link to that photo slideshow software review.

I hope this helps. I wish you luck.

I have to agree with this. The only other reasonably priced professional option to it is to use a service like Animoto or eMotion.

Fotomagico is another solution that does a great job.
