AquaSoft SlideShow Ultimate Editor's Review

Create multimedia shows for distribution on optical media, online or multimedia players with this intuitive tool.

Creating multimedia shows isn't always the easiest thing to do. Pulling together stills, video and appropriate audio at the right points can often be difficult. Many professional styled tools are often challenging to use and make the process that much more problematic. Thankfully, Aquasoft's Slideshow Ultimate 7 takes care of that, making the task easy to complete. It’s a multimedia show development tool for Windows.

Aquasoft's Slideshow Ultimate 7 allows you to quickly design impressive multimedia shows for DVD’s, YouTube, your iPod, and other multimedia players. With it, you can combine photos, videos, and music with its large palette of special effects to create dramatic results. After your show is created, it’s easy to play it on your television, computer, or projector. If portable media is more your style, you can always burn your show as either a video or a self-executing file or to CD/DVD with Slideshow Ultimate 7's integrated burning software. You can also export HD-level video in either AVI or WMV format.

Pros: Intuitive and easy to learn, supports HD output.

Cons: A bit pricey for $70USD.

Conclusion: There's no doubt that Aquasoft Slideshow Ultimate is a dynamite product. The interface is clean and elegant. Its feature set is robust. Its intuitive and easy to use.  The shows that it creates are pleasing and professional looking. However, at $70USD, it’s a bit on the pricey side for what it does. While this value statement may vary from user to user, you're going to have to draw the line for yourself by figuring out either how many shows you're going to create a week/month/year or how important any particular presentation might be.
