Easy To Learn, Easy To Use

As a photographer, you want to make great pictures that tug at your audience’s emotions. FotoMagico allows you to flow those pictures freely into a show and to mix them with movies to impress your audience. Sound is just a drag and drop away, too. FotoMagico gives you sophisticated shows with sound and high-end transitions in minutes. Like the Mac itself, it never stands in your way.

It Has To Look Good

Image quality is the acid test for everything in FotoMagico before it’s even considered for release. Your images are the heart of your presentation, so preserving their quality isn’t just a goal, it’s mandatory. We constantly tear down and rebuild animation, transitions and export routines to improve the look of your show.

Get Impressive Results Very Quickly

Got an idea for a show? Drag images and movies from your library into FotoMagico’s storyboard. If you change your mind about the sequence order, drag your media files into the sequence you need. Want to add a transition? Click the options icon, then choose something from the transition menu. You can create your first show in a few minutes. And that show will impress the daylights out of your audience.

I'm very picky - it has to come in on the right measure. With FotoMagico, you can easily sync the music.

Telling a story is easier than you think. Putting the images and movies in the order you shot them takes care of most family and sports events. And FotoMagico has export presets for DVD, web, iPod, YouTube and HD display. So sharing your work is easy too.

Don’t Wait - Create Magic Immediately

FotoMagico removes the roadblocks hindering your creativity. Adding Ken Burns-style pan and zoom effects is almost automatic, and gives moving drama to your story. Titles give structure, and they’re simple to drop in. Twirl images in and out, slide them away, or topple them like dominoes with transitions.

Images From Wherever You File Them

Some people like to keep their images organized with a photo management software. Others just keep their pictures in folders on their hard disk and organize them with the Finder. Whatever you prefer, FotoMagico can handle it. FotoMagico’s image browser automatically displays images from iPhoto, Aperture or Lightroom (FotoMagico Pro), or anywhere else you choose. Wherever they are, you can drag and drop images into your FotoMagico show.

Mix Images With Movies

FotoMagico makes it easy to mix photos with HD movies as provided by the DSLR camera models such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EOS 500D (Rebel T1i) or Nikon D90 and Nikon D5000! You even can pan & zoom in movies.

Soundtrack Timing – Match The Image To The Measure

The soundtrack propels a great show. Pick a slow ballad for the thoughtful shots, and upbeat hip-hop or rock for wild action. FotoMagico lets you choose any song in your iTunes library to fit the mood of your images, and start it exactly when the right image pops up. You can also use GarageBand songs or iLife Sound Effects to enhance your slideshow, voice-overs, or compose a one-of-a-kind score for your show. Add narration with the built-in audio recorder to vitalize your story (FotoMagico Pro only). Three audio tracks give you plenty of choices.

Everyone working in the professional video suites was amazed that this little teeny application you use on your laptop at home handled the pans and zooms this smoothly.

Titles Guide Your Story

Harness the full power of the Mac OS X Text engine. You can use any font on your Mac, mix and match fonts and styles, sizes and colors. It´s possible to add shadows and transparency, and you can even paste pictures into the titles. Since everything is rendered in real time, the type stays crisp and clear in any resolution and at any size.

Transitions Add Impact

FotoMagico‘s hand-tuned transitions have the same high quality as your images and movies. Panning and zooming are smooth, without reducing image resolution. You get jitter-free transitions that produce startling effects.

Show Your Brand

Whether you upload your work to your web site or YouTube for everybody to see or send samples to a client, you want your audience to know who made it. With FotoMagico Pro, you can layer a watermark on top of the slideshow to display your logo. You can also use a watermark to frame the images in your show.

Panoramic Images Without Cropping

Every one of your images is unique. You don’t want to chop them up or shrink them. Show a panoramic photo on a computer screen and it’ll be cut off on both sides, or you’ll have black bars above and below it. But pan across the image with FotoMagico, and you can use the whole screen to show your picture at its best. The way the mind works, your brain will memorize the parts you’ve already seen even if they move off-screen, creating the whole picture in your head.

The interface is so easy to use, it is almost spooky.
