Furthermore, FotoMago Player (standalone slideshow application) won’t quit easily. Or you will enter a bad loop, which you can escape yourself from only with Force Quit. If you change the file name and double-click on the file, you will get a message titled “Missing Media Files.” Don’t press the Play button. If you change the file name and/or the location of a standalone slideshow file, this standalone application will become dysfunctional. There’s another aspect of FotoMagico that we strongly advise the developer to fix. (See Screenshot 09.) Hmm… That’s 10 times bigger than I had in my mind. Then FotoMagico says the estimated file size is 121.9 MB.

By the way, quality (quantizer) is set to 75%. And the slideshow duration is only 37 seconds. The frame rate is 24, and the key frame rate is set to 300. There is something odd about FotoMagico’s export function. Then I got a warning message titled “Export Failed.” (See Screenshot 08.) When I pressed ‘Okay,” FotoMagico crashed. (See Screenshot 07.) After customizing export settings, I pressed the Export button.

I chose Export under File and then selected QuickTime Movie under Format. We eventually tried to export a project to QuickTime. It will be nice if one can insert multiple titles to each photo. FotoMagico lets you insert only one title layer to each slide. Another possible improvement is title insertion. (See Screenshot 01.) But there is no measurement (time or frame), which makes it difficult for one to decide where to set easy-in or easy-out. You can move the white marker to adjust the length. FotoMagico lets you apply easy-in and easy-out transitions to slides and titles. There are a couple of improvements we wish that Boinx Software will make to FotoMagico in the future. If you have applied ‘At Mouse Click’ to a slide, the slideshow will stop and won’t resume until you click on the screen.

If you double-click on the file, a slideshow will start at the full screen without a special application.

And FotoMagico will create a standalone slideshow launcher. After finished, choose Create Player under File. When you work on a slideshow project, select Continue > At Mouse Click under Slide. You can even create standalone slideshow and screensaver files.

You can pan, zoom in & out and rotate an image to create Kens Burns movements.įotoMagico Pro is an excellent solution to making slideshows and exporting them to iDVD, iPhoto, AppleTV and GarageBand. The left display window shows the beginning slide, the right display window the end slide. At the top of the screen, you have two display windows. If you click on ‘Images’ in the middle of the window, you will have access to iPhoto Library. You can drag and drop a group of image files to the media track at the bottom of the screen. It’s actually easier than Photo to Movie. Just like Photo to Movie 4, FotoMagico is very easy to use. FotoMagico Pro is the full version, which gives you extra functions such as access to Aperture Library, standalone player export and customized export settings. Some of the functions are restricted in this version. FotoMagico Express is a cheaper solution to creating slideshows. Similar to Photo to Movie 4, which we introduced 4 weeks ago, FotoMagico lets you create QuickTime-based slideshows with the Ken Burns Effect. FotoMagico is a Mac-only application from Boinx Software.
