| Plug-in | What does it do? | How can I use it? | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web |  |
Creates a web movie on a great looking web page based on an (expandable) set of themes, and uploads all necessary files directly to your MobileMe account. | A perfect choice if a presentation should be accessible by the broadest audience possible — the world. Boinx uses it for image presentations on the web. |
| Stand-alone Player 1) |  |
Creates a stand-alone player application that can be played on any Mac running Mac OS X Tiger or later. The best way to share high-res images with anybody using a Mac. | You can distribute stand-alone shows on DVD or as downloads from your server. And it protects your valuable work against unauthorized copying too. |
| DVD |  |
Creates a movie that can be burned to a DVD using iDVD or Toast and can be played on every DVD player. | Think about providing a DVD hand-out with low-res pictures as an additional service - your client will appreciate it. |
| iPod |  |
Creates a movie that plays perfectly on your iPod (iPod with video, iPod classic or iPod nano 3rd generation or newer) and puts it into iTunes for syncing with the iPod. | As your clients go mobile, your presentation is always with them and can be watched anywhere, anytime. HarvardPhoto for example turns FotoMagico shows into iTunes podcasts. |
| iPhone (and iPod touch) |  |
Similar to iPod, but optimized for the better video capabilities and the bigger screen. | The size of the display makes it a practical presentation device if you visit clients and want to show them him examples of your latest work. |
| YouTube |  |
This will produce an optimized H.264 based QuickTime movie that will be uploaded to YouTube to reach a global audience. | Can be viewed with every browser with Adobe Flash plug-in. Video encoding can be accelerated with the Turbo.264 video encoder hardware from Elgato. |
| Apple TV |  |
Creates a movie that uses the full capabilities of your Apple TV, including HDTV 720p. Navigate through your show with the Apple Remote. Your movie will also be added to iTunes for syncing. | The higher resolution of modern widescreen TVs let your pictures shine - not only in your living room, but also at tradeshows, in a conference room, in a furnishing store or a hotel lobby. |
| Screensaver 1) |  |
Creates a screensaver compatible with Mac OS X Tiger or later. FotoMagico’s screensavers use the full resolution of the original images and the screen they’re on, giving you the same quality look as your original show. | Screensavers are an underestimated promotion tool. Distribute them with samples of your work and the Mac audience - some potential agency and enterprise clients out there? - will think of you every time they enter their office. |
| HD |  |
The FotoMagico Pro version produces a H.264 based HD movie, ready to be played on a high resolution TV, with up to full 1080p with 1920 by 1080 pixels resolution. | If there is someone you need to impress, this should be your choice - mind-boggling show-reels or polished product presentations - everything your client is dreaming of. |
| QuickTime Movie |  |
QuickTime Pro gives you access to all the tedious compression settings. Here you can really fine tune all aspects and even create individual presets for future use. | You can tailor the output as you wish, but because this is used by experts in the field, you need to really know (or learn) what you are doing... |
| MPEG-4 Movie |  |
Only available in the Pro version of FotoMagico, this plug-in sports a highly efficient codec. Its movies can be played on many devices like mobile phones or games hardware. | If you plan to go beyond the traditional media and formats this is an interesting choice for you - and maybe a real surprise for your clients. |
1) The standalone player and screen saver features are excluded in FotoMagico Express.
