Product Description:

Photo to Movie 4 creates customized slide show movies from your digital photographs. Watch your photos come alive with Ken Burns-style motion effects. Show each person's face, one by one, in a family photo. Use a variety of transitions such as dissolves, wipes, or cubes to transition between photos. View movie at full screen. Add music to enhance the experience, record voice-overs from family members, and describe important details using captions. Use just a few photos or hundreds at once. When the movie is complete, email, publish to a website, or burn to DVD using your favorite burning software.


Take photos of your kids, graduations, weddings, vacations, the new baby, maps, or the new house and drop them directly into Photo to Movie. You don't have to worry about resizing or cropping your photos -- Photo to Movie takes care of all the details for you.


Browse your iPhoto and iTunes libraries in Photo to Movie to find photos and music. In conjunction with iDVD, create DVDs from your slide shows, including captions and soundtracks. Go beyond the limits of the Ken Burns effect in iMovie. No more hassling with photo resizing -- Photo to Movie does it for you. You can even use Photo to Movie to produce high quality photo sequences to use in Final Cut.


Photo to Movie includes many capabilities beyond the Ken Burns effect available in other applications. With Photo to Movie you can not just zoom and pan over photos, but also rotate them, move along curved paths, and even do things like move from face to face to face in a family photo. It works well with hundreds of photos or just a few. View your movie at full screen too.

Photo to Movie ReviewGarbled - Version: 4.2.7, 12/18/2009 01:37PM PST

Yes, the output is far better than anything you can get with iMovie. It is also more predictable. But the interface, Yikes! This is an incredibly poorly designed piece of software. It would be nice if the GUI designers at Apple could work with the P2M people. As it is, there is no rationale as to what the little triangles, dots, slated lines mean on the timeline. You can slide them around but their purpose has nothing to do with their location, size or position. Furthermore, the photos are stacked and put side-by-side. Can you say "confusing?" It is also imprecise. You can give the exact time a title is to appear, but you can't for a photo. What if you want them to appear at the same time? You can't do it except by trial and error. If you want a series of static images to be perfectly aligned, forget that too. It is impossible. This is only for slapping images together, not for aligned maps or other technical images. For some reason images will fill the screen area at different sizes. Sometimes the entire image is shown, sometimes it is cropped. There is no "make image fill frame." I could go on and on. I know it is cheap software, but that is no excuse for horrible, horrible, horrible design. It is almost unusable as is. If only it had the elegance of iMovie--or iMovie had the robustness of P2M. As it is both are junk.

I had a similar experience to Tortrefarm (8/21/08) and wish I checked here first. I was swayed by the website to buy retail, but ran in to problems immediately. Sent repeated emails that were ignored by LQ Graphics. After complaining to the retailer, LQ Graphics finally responded with a non-answer: they need to research the problem and get back to me. It's been nearly a month and still no answer. Very expensive shareware for such terrible tech support.
