The Share Assistant
Convenient presets cover most common situations. The current version ships with the following plugins:
| Standalone Player |  |
Creates a stand-alone player application that can be played on any Mac running Mac OS X Tiger or later. As a player contains high resolution images and can be controlled interactively, it is the best way to share a slideshow with anybody using a Mac. | 1) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DVD |  |
This plugin Helps you to create a movie that can then be burned to a DVD using a third-party application such as iDVD or Toast. Due to the limitations of the NTSC and PAL video standards the result will not look as good as on a Mac but can be played on any DVD player connected to a TV or projector. | |
| Web |  |
Creates a movie suitable for putting on a web page. This plugin can also create a great looking web page based on an (extendable) set of themes and upload all necessary files directly to your .Mac account. | |
| iPod |  |
Creates a movie that plays on your iPod (iPod with video, iPod classic or iPod nano 3rd generation) and puts it into iTunes for synching to the iPod. | |
| iPhone |  |
Similar to iPod, but using the better video capabilities of the iPhone. | |
| AppleTV |  |
Create a movie that uses the full capabilities of your AppleTV, including HDTV 720p. Your movie will also be added to iTunes for synching. | |
| Screen Saver |  |
Creates a screen saver compatible with Mac OS X Tiger or later. Similar to the standalone player a screen saver can play the full resolution of your slideshow | 1) |
| HD |  |
Produces a H.264 based HD movie ready to be played on a high resolution TV. | FotoMagico Pro only |
| QuickTime Movie |  |
The QuickTime plugin gives you access to all the tedious compression settings of QuickTime. Here you can really fine tune all aspects and even create preset settings for future use. | FotoMagico Pro only |
| MP4 Movie |  |
Similar to the QuickTime plugin, but specialized for MP4 movies that can be played on most devices, like mobile phones, game hardware etc. | FotoMagico Pro only |
1) The standalone player and screen saver features are restricted in FotoMagico Express.
