Another finalist from the FotoMagico Slideshow Showcase: Phillip Resuggan - "Studio Portraits".

Our business offers a dvd slideshow as a product. This slideshow entry serves as both a digital portfolio that can be viewed on our Apple Cinema Display or on a dvd player and as an example of our dvd slideshow product. We took your recommendation and purchased FotoMagico to author the slideshow.

Listen to Derrick telling the tale of "30 Miles East of LA": "The techniques used to create 30 Miles East of LA are very simple using basic software. The movie has 3 tracks: video (created in FotoMagico), music, and voiceover (both tracks added in iMovie HD). In this podcast, I talk about how the project began 2 years ago when I digitized the 20 year-old tapes of the band's music. I then began collecting and scanning the visuals, and even returned to Southern California to photograph the locations where the band performed 2 decades ago."

"Let me take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoy FotoMagico. After trying Final Cut Pro, Sound Studio, Soundtrack, iMovie, AfterEffects, iPhoto, iDVD, Cinematize and many other applications, I decided that FotoMagico is the way to go if one wants to produce and present a sophisticated slideshow with images synchronized to music." - Joao C. Portinari, Brazil.

Here is a tutorial on how to use GarageBand 3 and the most recent version of FotoMagico 1.7 to create very nice sound tracks with voice over and royalty free music for your slideshows.

A great review/tutorial on FotoMagico over at MyMac.com by John Nemerovski: "The more Nancy and I use FotoMagico, the more intuitive becomes our relationship with it, and the more impressed we are with its engineering team and tech support response. [...] We rate FotoMagico as a strong 4 out of 5, with hopes for a higher score as the application evolves. Bravo to Boinx for a job well done so far."
