Zoom

Let your images really come to life.

Zoom your images to your heart's content from small to big, from big to small or with any number of steps in between.

In contrast to competing products AquaSoft ® SlideShow XP five & Studio lets you have full control over zooming. You decide when, where and how much is zoomed. Other programs offer a handful of preset paths for zooming. With AquaSoft ® SlideShow XP five & Studio you are the stage director and the program listens to your wishes.

Camera-Pans

Is a certain section of an image especially dear to you? Then why don't you just magnify this section? The section can float across the image, and even it's size can be adjusted. This leads you to beautiful panoramas with just a few clicks. Your images of nature will finally receive the attention they deserve.

Camera-Pans are of course just as flexible as the zoom, and can be combined with it easily.

Burning DVDs

DiaShow-Master

Do you want to create fancy slide shows without much effort? Then use the DiaShow Master. It creates sophisticated slide shows in three easy steps.

   Choose images

   Choose background music

   Choose style (there's something for everybody, from "Winter" to "Movie Atmosphere" and beyond)

Of course you can change and individually adjust slide shows created through the DiaShow-Master.

Over 100 new text-effects

Over are the times of boring text effects. Texts fly through the image as if moved by a ghost. They can move from and towards all directions. Set the paths on which the letters flow yourself (loops, waves, etc.) or leave that to the random generator. The letters make their way alone or in groups, combined with zooms or rotations. When you know all preset effects, start making your own. You can even hand those down to your friends and family.

Timeline

Up to now it has been difficult to match images and sounds exactly. With the timeline you receive a new tool that lets you arrange all objects synchronous, one after the other or shifted against each other. The timeline shows the exact position in the time flow of your slide show, so that synchronizing of images and music works accurately to the second.

Simultaneity

Over is the mere one-after-the-other of a conventional slide show. Through the parallel object any number of objects can be played synchronously or shifted against each other. This way you may let two photos fly into the screen at the same time over moving paths, wile a text animation binds the interest of the viewer. At the same time the background music fades a little bit, while your spoken comment steps into the foreground to say what can be seen. The timeline lets you control these sequences accurately to the second.

IntelliLoad

AquaSoft ® SlideShow XP five & Studio is based on the new IntelliLoad-technology, a intelligent preloading method developed by our own house. It is used to initialize the next object during internal delays. This way the show runs smoothly.

Animation
