Product Description:
Boinx FotoMagico lets you create professional slideshows from your photos and music with just a few, simple mouse clicks. It sports a very clean and intuitive yet powerful user interface. High image quality, fast performance, and user flexibility were some of the design goals for this application.
Create the most spectacular slideshows:
- Scale, move, rotate, zoom or pan around your images to highlight that part that matters the most.
- Your slides fit together perfectly with the new, gorgeous transitions.
- Provide more meaning with subtle titles here and there.
Perform a breathtaking show:
- Your slideshow uses the best possible resolution of your presentation device.
- Use large displays, HDTV screens and other high resolution devices.
- Even on a VGA projector, your photos will look better with FotoMagico.
Your audience will want to take it home:
- Burn DVDs of your slideshow with iDVD or Roxio Toast.
- Put your slideshow on the new iPod.
- Export in almost any QuickTime format.
Your audience will never fall asleep again.
What's new in this version:
- Standalone Player - The most important new feature is the standalone player, which lets you share your FotoMagico creations with other people who have a Macintosh computer. The recipient of your show does not need to own a copy of FotoMagico. Previously, you had to export your photo presentation and burn it to a DVD, which resulted in loss of image quality. The standalone player retains the original quality of your images. Choose "Create Player…" from the File menu to save your slideshow as a standalone player. Before clicking on the Create button, select the appropriate restrictions. You have a choice, of no restrictions, expiration date, or limited number of viewings. These restrictions might be useful for professional photographers who want to show their work to potential clients, but not give away their work for free.
- Screen Saver - You can now use your FotoMagico show as a regular Mac OS X screen saver. Choose "Create Screensaver…" to save your presentation as a screensaver. The same restrictions that are offered for standalone players are available for a screensaver. To use a screensaver, double click it in the Finder to install it.
- Streamlined User Interface - The toolbar between the stage and the storyboard now contains tools that give you instant access to commonly needed functions. In the future, more might be added here. In addition the user interace has been slightly modified to keep it in sync with the current versions of iLife.
- Faster Thumbnail Loading - The loading of image libraries (iPhoto, Aperture, or Finder folders) and display of the thumbnails in the Images panel has been rewritten and now has dramatically improved performance. Minutes of high processor load are now a thing of the past.
- Watermark Overlay - You can now put a watermark on top of your slideshow. Professional photographers may use this to superimpose their logo or copyright information, but this feature can also be used to create interesting effects, like adding a frame for the images. Please note that the watermark is static (not animated) and is displayed during the whole slideshow. To set a watermark, go to the Slideshow>Settings… menu, and in the sheet select the Watermark pane. Click on the "Choose…" button to pick an image file to be used as the watermark. If you want to make the watermark semi-transparent, then lower the opactiy. Click OK to close the Settings sheet. The watermark image should now be visible in the Stage. Select it by clicking on it. You can position, zoom, and rotate it like any other image. The Window menu contains a command that lets you hide or show the watermark while authoring your slideshow.
- Get Info - Choose the Get Info command from the Window menu or press the Info button on the images and audio panes to show or hide the new info inspector. With the inspector open, click on images or songs in the Images or Audio panel, or select image or songs in the Storyboard to display detailed information about each item.
- Spotlight Support - FotoMagico 2.0 contains a spotlight plugin, so Spotlight searches now pick up your FotoMagico documents.
- Seamless Looping When set to loop in the slideshow settings, shows now loop without any noticeable gap.
- Behind-the scenes work - The playback engine has been completely re-written to provide advanced features for version 2.0 and beyond.

As version 3 crashes the moment I add something to the timeline, I got an older version 2 to test: works perfectly on my Mac, any configuration.
So: for some reason version 3 broke something that was fine in version 2...(!)

So, I change my opnion based on this update: it works fine now it seems!
