IntroCreator

IntroCreator is designed to assist users in creating customized presentations. The program comes with several background options and custom images can be loaded.

The application sports a very clean interface, with few buttons. All the core functions are grouped into menu items, which makes the software highly accessible.

There are multiple uses for this resource, including business or product presentations, auto-run slideshow CDs, university projects and animated greeting cards.

Up to 40 slides can be created, which should accommodate most needs, since the tool is only meant to generate introductory slideshows. Once a new slide has been created, users have a variety of options to customize the new item.

These include adding pictures, sounds (both of which can be in most common formats), text strings and rectangles. All of these elements can further be refined, for example, by increasing the font size for text strings, or by adjusting the position of the image.

Users can also insert transition fade in or out effects as the resource comes with a variety of predefined options, including vertical and horizontal animations. In total, each slide can hold up to 20 text, 10 image and 20 rectangle objects, which means that users have all the freedom to generate complex slideshows.

Once the project is finished, the software saves the file with an ITR extension, that the built-in player can load. This is intended to provide better support for auto-run program-specific CD/DVD presentations.

In conclusion, IntroCreator is a simple and easy to use basic presentation suite. There are several built-in animation effects which can be used and the ability to insert customized pictures and sounds is a very nice feature. However, a few more improvements are needed in order to justify the pricetag.
