Slide Show Programs

Rock You – Free

This is one of my favorite slide show programs from RockYou.com. They offer you the ability to create a slide show with and without music.

This is a slide show of a Local Search Java Gym we held in on Maui in March 2009. Considered adding a slide show to your website that has to do with your business. It’s fun and simple to do. More importantly it gives your customers a reason to visit and share your website with others.

Animoto

This is a new service from Animoto that is a big hit with the kids. It’s much more like a photo video than a photo slide show. I also like the fact that you can set it so that the slide show and music don’t start on-load. The viewer has to click the start button first.

I also like the fact that when you click on the photo it does not automatically take you to Animoto’s website. The only way to get there is to click on their logo.

FlipTrack – Free

Fathers Day at the Beach

FlipTrack has the most choices for your slide show. You can include over 100 songs, slide transitions, skins, backgrounds, captions, styles and more. But, like all the free slide show software you must put up with the accompanying ads. Other than Animoto, this is my favorite free software.

Google Picasa – Free

Link

This is the free slide show software from Google Picasa. It is very simple in that it only allows you to make a slide show similar to what you see here. The other slide show sites including Photobucket.com, FlipTrack.com offer many more options, but they also carry more advertising. I like Picasa for its simplicity and its subtle advertising

PhotoBucket – Free

If you’re viewing this on FireFox or Safari, you can play the guitar by dragging your mouse over the guitar strings.

This is a very unique slide show offered by Photobucket. As with most of the software we suggest, it is free and therefore comes with ads surrounding the slide show. I would not suggest paying the $3/month or $25 year to have all of your slides appear without ads. PhotoBucket does not consider their logo an ad and it will appear on all of your slide shows. If you don’t mind paying extra to promote PhotoBucket on your slide show, this is what you can expect.

SWF ‘N Slide Pro – $69

I love this software. It produces great flash slides without the advertising that accompanies all the free slide show software. You can purchase the software from Vertical Moon for either Windows or the Mac for $69.
