Slideshows are created using the most different programs- both paid and free. They can be purchased in stores or downloaded online. In addition, there are special online services. Most of them are English speaking. As for editors, we will next consider the capabilities of some of the most popular ones.

Slideshow in PowerPoint Editor

PowerPoint slideshow software is considered one of the best applications of its kind available today. An intuitive interface and a lot of possibilities provided to the user make it extremely popular. Slideshows using it are created in several steps.

First, of course, you need to select suitable photos and, for convenience, place them in a separate folder. Next, open the program and go to the “Insert” tab. Then go to the “Photo Album” section and select the “Create Photo Album” option. In the menu that appears, find the “File or disk” command. After that, select the necessary photos on your computer and click alternately on “Insert” and “Create”.

At the next stage, click on “View” and select the “Slide Sorter” option. Here the editor provides the user with the ability to swap frames. Next, you should select a mode. It's best to click on "Normal". You can then change the name of the clip. To make it effective, you should go to the “Transitions” tab. If desired, you can set both different transitions between photos, and the same one. In the latter case, click on “Apply to all”.

Save a file in PowerPoint

So, we found out how to make a slideshow on your computer in PowerPoint program. Now let's see how we can save it. The best way to do this is to select the Windows Media Video file type. In this case, the subsequently created slide show can be viewed in any media player.

PowerPoint provides the user with another interesting opportunity. If desired, you can change the design, size and style of photos. In addition, the developers have built ready-made templates into the editor. To use one of them, you need to go to the main menu, and then “Create” - “ Ready-made templates" The selected template can be adjusted at your discretion.

Slideshow in PhotoShow program

PhotoShow Editor is another fairly popular application designed for creating slideshows from photos. The program also provides the user with a lot of interesting features. Before you start creating a clip, you need to select suitable photos, just as in the first case. In addition, you will need some kind of music file. Photos are placed in a separate folder. In this case, it is advisable to arrange them in the order in which they will subsequently be shown on the screen and number them.

Now let's look at how to make a slide show on your computer using the PhotoShow editor. To begin, double-click on the sun shortcut and select “ New project" Next on the left you need to find the folder with saved photos and click on it. After this, all the images will appear on the right. The next step is to move necessary photos to the panel located below. Here the image appears after clicking on it at the top. You can also click on the folder icon below the photos. In this case, they will all be moved to the bottom panel at the same time.

Now you can go to the “Transitions” tab. You can choose any of them if you wish. After clicking on any transition, it will be mounted between the first and second photos. The “Apply to all” button will appear.

After selecting the transitions, you can begin to arrange the musical design of the future slide show. To do this, click on the “Project Settings” button located below. Next - “Music” - “Add music file”. In the window that opens, select the composition prepared in advance - “Open”. After downloading the file, click on the “Synchronize” button.

Then you can start customizing the screen. To do this, you need to click on the “Project Settings” button again. Here, among other things, you can change the display intervals of the photos themselves, as well as the transitions between them. Save the finished slideshow and go to the “Screen” tab. Here you can select the screen size. It is best to set the proportions that the photographs themselves have. Then the images will be shown without black bars at the top and bottom. This way you can create a wedding, children's slide show, etc.

Video slide show in PhotoShow program

In order to make a beautiful video, you need to set the image aspect ratio to 16:9. Click on “Create” - “Create video slide show”, and then select high quality HD. Set the screen aspect ratio to 16:9 for the video and click on “Convert”. We save the resulting video to any folder, after giving the project a name.

Other programs

The applications discussed above are paid. You can only use trial versions without purchasing a key. There are other similar editors for creating slideshows. Quite popular are, for example, Movie Maker, Smilebox, Foto2avi, etc. Also considered very good free program for Bolide® Slideshow Creator. The principle of working with it is very similar to the principle of working with PhotoShow and PowerPoint. The required photos are pre-selected. Next, the transitions between them are established, and then the show is synced with the music file. If desired, in almost every editor you can select accompanying text for photographs.

Slideshow online

Most online services provide their visitors with the opportunity to create a sled show completely free of charge. Some of them require pre-registration. Some services are paid. In this case, before creating a clip, you will need to deposit a certain, usually not too large, amount.

Thus, the question of how to make a slide show on a computer is not particularly difficult. It is enough to download one of the currently available programs designed for this purpose and spend a few minutes studying it.

It’s also very pleasing that PhotoSHOW Pro can be downloaded for free, which is almost incredible with so many useful gadgets. As you work, you can independently create transitions and adjust the duration of their display, as well as the duration of the display of the slides themselves.

All that remains is to save the resulting masterpiece by converting it into video. You can choose almost any format, from AVI to HD high definition for viewing on a large screen.

I remember the times when there were very few free video editors (paid ones were very expensive), and those that were available had very poor functionality. That's why most people created slideshows. No, it’s probably not the lack of multifunctional video editors that’s to blame, but the presence of the cameras themselves.

Now everything has changed and in the pockets (or bags) more than 60% of the population of our planet have phones with cameras that can not only take photographs, but also record video in very high quality. good quality.

But no matter how much progress is made, programs for creating slide shows still remain in demand. Therefore, I decided to provide you with a description of the 3 best programs that will most effectively cope with this task.

ProShow Producer

There are so many different effects and transitions that ProShow Producer has in no other similar program. Sets of fonts for adding captions to photos, animating slides and changing their backgrounds. You can also accompany your slideshow with music tracks.

The program's system requirements are not great: only about 100 MB of free hard disk space, 1 GB of RAM and a 1 GHz processor. Free version The program is limited to a 15-day period, after which you will need to register the program.

DVD Photo Slideshow Pro

The main feature of DVD Photo Slideshow Pro is not just creating a slide show, but also burning it to disk directly in the program. But this function is now practically not used, so developers in new versions of the program began to place more emphasis on the Internet.

The only thing I liked about the DVD Photo Slideshow Pro program was the ability to save the finished slide show in HD and Blu-Ray formats. Especially if you work with high-quality (highly enlarged) photographs.

Ashampoo Slideshow Studio HD

It is also especially worth paying attention to the fact that Ashampoo Slideshow Studio HD is free for only 10 days. Although if you need to create just one slide show, then this is quite enough. System requirements are moderate: 512 MB of RAM, 80 MB of free hard disk space and a 1.2 GHz processor.

To summarize all of the above, the best among these three programs is ProShow Producer. But still, it is impossible to specifically single out any of them, since they are almost identical in functionality. Next, the choice is yours. Good luck with creating your slideshows.
