Looking at your work, I see you have used Proshow in its most basic or simplest form, just simple dissolves. It is a fantastic programme and capable of so much more than that with moving the images etc. during the slide show, rather than simple static images dissolving. Sort of like owning a Porsche 911, and this is just starting it up and shifting into first gear and moving forward a few feet in your drive way, compared to what it is capable of.

I've had the Gold first then upgraded to the Producer and used it for many, many years. It is capable of creating amazing slide shows with all sorts of X and Y moving and spinning and overlapping motions, to really put your slide show way out in front of simple dissolves. However, that does require a lot of time and effort in creating such shows.

It was very sad to see it end, I must say. I've not found anything as good to replace it, up to now, that was as easy to use. Good luck with your dilemma, I hope you get it to work. I keep it on my older computer and leave it that way, to do anything I want on the old system.

You have some great images there, what a lovely selection. If you altered that somewhat, keep many of the motion across the screen or slow zooms in place but possible cut out the page curls and slide across transitions etc. then you may find people would not feel so concerned about the transitions. You could still use many of the image motions you had there but use simple dissolves or quick cuts in the editing, which keeps it a punchy show without suffering from transition distraction for the viewer. I think you did a very nice job and nice music choice.
