• Tricky Install

  Old_Soldier_IndyNovember 26, 2014

  Pros

  I have used this version for many years and have found it to meet my needs without the need to upgrade. It is an excellent piece of software.

  Cons

  I downloaded this for a relative and found that the software is a TRIAL version. A fact not revealed in the CNET description. Crafty and sly

• Product OK, but don't expect friendly assistance

  flroalesJune 7, 2012

  Pros

  Product is OK, in fact good

  Cons

  Customer assistance is not what it should be, Tech's replys have undertone of "Its your problem, not mine"

  Summary

  If you never need any help then go for it, if you need help Good Luck

• A good program and fairly easy to use

  pokerpilotFebruary 21, 2012

  Pros

  Ease of use Plenty of features

  Cons

  Difficult to arrange sound and slide sequences Expensive

  Summary

  A good program with many useful features but synching sound bits to individual slides is confusing and difficult. The price is much more than other similar programs with similar features.

• A truly amazing product

  gvandeusenFebruary 15, 2012

  Pros

  If you enjoy making terrific slideshows of your photos and videos, this is by far the #1 product out there. Blows the others away, and the output looks really professional. They also provide excellent service and support. Highly recommended.

  Cons

  I'd be nitpicking if I could think of one.

• It's a Breeze to use and Brilliant Output

  PetexxxxJanuary 19, 2012

  Pros

  You can create an instant, professional looking show with the wizard. As you get to know the tools, you soon discover how creative you can be.

  Cons

  Can't think of any.

  Summary

  I have been using this for about 4 years now and have upgraded to Producer which is essentially the same with lots of extra wizards and effects.

• Nice but one significant problem

  morrieg7October 27, 2011

  Pros

  Easy to use slide show software with many features

  Cons

  Not able to use some MP3 files as soundtracks because they appear as DirectShow on the ProShow Gold drop-down file listings. Photodex tech staff claims this is a problem unique to me and has suggested re-installing the program. But a new installation on a different machine exhibits the same problem when using the "details" file listing. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

  Summary

  Very good slide show software with the frustrating exception noted above.

• BOOOOO! NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL TRIAL

  stapulmsAugust 16, 2011

  Pros

  Very easy to use, wizard is nice

  Cons

  WATERMARK ON OUTPUT!

  Summary

  Don't say fully functional trial if it's NOT!!!! If you are not planning on spending the $69.95 don't waste your time.

• One of the most functional & intuitive programs I have

  cliffordf2August 19, 2010

  Pros

  Powerful, flexible, intuitive, and forgiving

  Cons

  None that I found

  Summary

  I used this program 'out of the box' to create a memorial video for my wife of 43 years - Lynn. I am a computer professional but I certainly was in shock! I did it with no training and little tutorial viewing. Your program was all of the things that I've already stated. I made three 'takes' in three days - 135 photos and three songs. The third 'take' was lauded and such a professional product that our family and friends suggested that I should create these videos as a profession. That's high praise indeed!
