      Pros:
      Very easy and simple to work with. Made a video for my granddaughter and used one of the samples.
      Cons:
      You can not customize the effects and apply them all to your project. Also need to have more samples for funerals.

      Recommendations for making it easier to use

      4

      It has been good except for burning a DVD. 6. BURNING DVDs. For some reason, when I click "Burn DVD" it doesn't and I have to go to the "Create DVD Folder" option. This is not good. When "Burn DVD" is selected the output should be the burned DVD drawer automatically opening. As well, the direction for the "Create DVD folder" are not clear & leads to confusion.

      Pros:
      Many useful features, particularly photo enhancement and music volume control as the show proceeds.
      Cons:
      There are always routine actions that repeat time and time again. 1. TEXT. Every time I want to add text I have to start all over. I strongly suggest that once a style, font, size, etc. is chosen that it shows up automatically the next time adding text is selected. 2. TRANSITIONS. I happen to not like fancy & varied transitions, I find they are distracting, particularly while editing the show. I should not have to go to the "same transition throughout" option every time I insert a picture. I suggest AN ADDITIONAL option that automatically inserts the same transaction after each picture, movie clip, etc. 3. MANAGING TEXT. I like to have text fade in and fade out and therefore I select 6 points where I make changes in opacity. 0%, 0%, 100% 100% 0%, 0%. It would be useful for text management to be selected the first time only and shows up for every following text insertion. If changed on, for example the 4th picture, then the change would be carried on to the next text insertion. 4.ZOOMING PICTURE SIZE. Would it be possible to have this done directly with the "mouse" rather than clicking on the "+"or "-" icons, in the same way the picture location can be changed? 5. TITLE FOR DVDs. Is missing from Version 20. Thus, for computers, the computer software is required to start the DVD rathe than clicking "start" on the title. This is very inconvenient. Unusual as well. 6. BURNING DVDs. See below.

      Vendor Response

      Hi Joseph, thank you for the review! Your feedback is going to be very helpful for us to improve the software in future updates. I've forwarded all your suggestions regarding text management, transitions, zoom, and DVD menus to the project manager, and we may add the improvements you mentioned in future versions. Please note that there are simpler ways to add transitions and fade-in/fade-out effects to text layers. If you'd like to learn more about these features, you may contact our customer support. I am also very sorry that you need to take an extra step to burn a DVD. Have you contacted our technical support regarding this issue? If you have, could you let me know your support ticket? We'll take a deeper look into this case and if the problem is caused by our software, we'll fix it asap.

      My experience is excellent, but at presentations which use Smartshow 3D the audience is amazed at the quality/ sophistication of the product. Little do they know how easy it was to produce

      Pros:
      Simplicity of use, backup from Technical staff ( have used this a couple of times). Excellent response. Templates provide an excellent starting point to produce a video clip, but give the ability to make changes and create a unique presentation.
      Cons:
      Nothing.....have not found anything that I cannot produce , even without using a template

      Reasons for choosing SmartSHOW 3D

      I liked the simplicity of the timeline, but more importantly the ability to use templates and if necessary amend them slightly.

      Pros:
      This software was very easy to use. In using the free download (and then purchasing the Gold plan), I was able to teach myself most of the basics of creating a slideshow. I especially liked placing the slides and making the transitions between the slides. The collages feature was good, too, but some collages were harder to understand and more difficult to create. Overall, I was pleased with my final product, and the software (along with customer service) was a big assist in helping me to make the slideshow work well!
      Cons:
      There are only two things that frustrated me. First, most of my learning was by trial and error. The online tutorials were not that helpful for me. Of course, I was under a tight timeline and needed fast, specific answers, which the tutorials were not designed to give me. Perhaps, now that the pressure is off of me, I can go back into the software and teach myself more of the finesse (making music transitions) and short-cuts (creating multi-picture collages) that are available to me that I simply didn't have time to fully explore on my first slideshow. The second issue for me was that as the slideshow got longer and more complex, the more fragile the software seemed to become. It crashed on me several times (boy, was I glad I had bought the option to download this software as many times as I wanted). It was a pain to keep downloading, but it always came back pretty much where I left off (I did “Save Project” often, though). Eventually I learned to be more deliberate and allow the software to work slowly. Other than these two slight challenges, I thought this software was a great purchase, and I am looking forward to making many more slideshows in the future.

      Cons:
      I would be nice to be able to choose skins if you like a dark background or white in the UI.

      Reasons for switching to SmartSHOW 3D

      SmartShow 3D has a much better user interface and is easier to import ideas, it also uses less CPU power than many other slideshow software on the market today.

      Cons:
      This program is SO unstable. It is constantly crashing. Which is a pity, as it suits my purpose and is easy to use and has all the features i require for the videos I produce. However i find it exhausting with it constantly crashing. I have requested help from their support team and they have responded quickly, but to date have not been able to provide any answers to my problem. I run Windows 11 on a powerful laptop and the video i am currently experiencing this problem with is only 20 minutes duration.The text editor is very clunky and limited in the amount of text one can add to a slide.
