Music, photos, slideshows, podcasts (audio and video), music videos, home movies. The new Apple iPod does it all. Yet, there is one thing it can't do. The one thing that photo lovers don't want to miss in their slideshows. The one thing the iPod's built-in processor is not powerful enough to deliver. The one more thing you get with the new FotoMagico 1.2.5 release: The Ken Burns Effect for your slideshows.

FotoMagico Release 1.2.5 is ready for action. Create a cool slideshow from your photos. Add some text and music. Turn on the Ken Burns pan & zoom effect. Export to a movie file and download it to your iPod. Amaze your family and friends.

The new version also fixes an issue that Apple introduced with QuickTime 7.0.3 and is recommended for all users of FotoMagico.

Gregor Gilliom from Columbus, Ohio, writes: "I am a big fan of FotoMagico, and really enjoy your newsletter. I've made lots of great slideshows with FotoMagico, including one that runs 25 minutes, includes more than 300 images, and is used by a small college in Ohio for alumni fund raising. I'm not technical, but I'm really happy with what I've been able to create with it." He has a shorter but great black and white slide show sample on his website: "A Hawaiian Tribute to Ansel Adams".

Paul "had some fun using FotoMagico to create a slideshow from a trip my family (and a good friend) took to Disneyland over Spring Break 2004".

A huge small update for FotoMagico: Version 1.2.4 offers huge speed improvements with very smooth pan & zoom and new HD/H.264 Export. More Information...

Be also sure to get the high res demo slideshow if you have a big screen and a fast machine. It is worth it!

What was supposed to be a minor update turned into a very substantial learning experience. The team got many new insights into Mac OS X threads and OpenGL. So, it took a while to get out of the door. Now we can focus on the next major release...

French magazine Vous et Votre Mac reviews FotoMagico in Issue #7: "FotoMagico est un véritable logiciel multimédia grâce auquel vous créerez de très beaux diaporamas, à la frontière de l'animation et de la vidéo." The article also serves as a short tutorial.

In its May/June 2005 issue, the Kleper Report on Digital Publishing takes a look at FotoMagico: "FotoMagico is a sophisticated slideshow application that incorporates many features not found elsewhere." The report also briefly mentions Mouseposé and iVeZeen.
