Further editing enables you to add various objects to the slideshow, such as other images, text, videos, backgrounds, as well as animations (clouds, falling snowflakes, rain, confetti, hearts etc). Speech balloons, mustaches, hats, presents and party decorations, houses and various other pins can also be placed over the pictures.

Dozens of transition and image effects are available, as well as various movements paths. Some text effects can also be applied.

All the slideshows can be saved to the computer or burned to a disc. Alternatively, the program provides several wizards that can help you export the file to your mobile phone, iPod, PSP, digital photo frame or even YouTube.
