A slideshow is an effective way to present something during a class or to show someone your vacation pictures. Creating it with MS PowerPoint can be difficult, due to its complex and confusing options. Creating it as a movie can have its drawbacks too. There are many mistakes you can make when it comes to the output format or other aspects. Using Slide Effect, you will be able to create slideshows, using various effects. The interface is very comfortable to use, thanks to the well organized features.

If you have a slower Internet connection, you may have to wait a bit longer when downloading the installation package. It is 40 Mb large, but when the download is finished, everything goes much faster. After clicking the wizard's final Next button, the software will be ready to use in a few seconds.

You can switch between different view modes on the central region of the interface, with the aid of navigation tabs. The main view is where you can edit your presentation. Images, videos, text, 3D images and text can be inserted by clicking the icons beneath the editing area. Depending on what icon you click or what items you select on the editing area, you will find different options on the right side of the interface. You can use these to apply start or end effects to a selected item, animate it and make other adjustments.

A slide's background, transition effects and soundtrack can be selected under different tabs. The software has its own library of background images, patterns and effects and all you have to do is select one, by clicking it. The slides are listed on the left part of the interface and you can add new ones, remove or move them up and down in the list with the options on the toolbar. When creating a new slide, a window will appear on the screen, where you may select a template. If you select a slide template, you will find objects already inserted and all you have to do is associate an image, text or video with them.

Pros

The software's graphics are excellent in any way. The quality of the background images is more than satisfying, the effects are well animated and even the buttons on the interface look great. You will not have to "run around" the window, from one corner to another, to find a specific option. Everything is well placed and you can find anything almost instantly. If you opt for the Professional edition, you will be able to read and write PowerPoint presentations.

Cons

The program's setup kit is a bit large, which may take some time to download, but the wait is worth it. You will definitely impress your audience if you create your slideshows using Slide Effect. The effects and animations it offers are much better than the ones you would find in other software.
