Crucially for me the software was stable, not crashing during use. One other nice thing was that once you reopened a saved project and added more slides to the end of the timeline, as long as the original audio track was long enough it filled in the gap – with OpenShot you were left with blank audio and would need to reimport the original longer audio track. Transitions between slides were easier to implement, but the options were more limited than OpenShot (but there are only so many garish transitions that you can tolerate anyway). Adding effects are a bit more fiddly – you need to create Keyframes and how you want the image to look at both the start and end of the effect period and the software then interpolates, but ultimately this is more flexible than OpenShot. Check out the short video on how to use it at – this is essential even just to get going.
This has a more cluttered interface on first opening, but ultimately the process is more or less the same as OpenShot. I was unable to access the Preferences menu where I might have been able tweak the settings to stop this happening – I don’t know why, this may just be a bug with the current version. However, maybe I was just trying to push it too hard. I found that the software kept crashing, but it seemed to remember where it was when it reloaded. Both of these struggled to work on my 7-year old AMD laptop (running Windows 10), but ran on my 2-year old i7 laptop (also running Windows 10).īright, intuitive interface (drag images, videos and audio files into the project file area, then drag down to the timeline, right click to add transitions and effects – see the quick user guide before you start at ). They are available as portable versions () which I prefer, or you can download installable versions directly from the provider’s websites. They are relatively intuitive, but they each have their pros and cons. Stephen Williams has also found the following free video creation applications for people interested in creating AV presentations and sends this message to members:
Beeslack recommended a utility called WNSoft PTE AV Studio 10 (), which can generate shows for Windows, Apple and Android devices.
I use Proshow Producer, which has now been replaced by Photopia (), a subscription-based application. After the audio visual evening we discussed the software used to create audio visual presentations.
