threecubes Slideshow HD

threecubes Slideshow HD is a comprehensive and intuitive program designed to offer a complete method of creating beautiful and interactive high-quality slideshows using your favorite images, as well as adding various texts and applying different transition effects, sounds and videos to add a touch of personality to them.

It comes with an intuitive yet complex interface, which might take a bit of time to get familiar with. The layout is divided into four distinct tabs (transitions, camera, filter, visual objects), each providing different functions, a slideshow player on the right side of the panel, a timeline and storyboard at the bottom.

If this is the first time using this tool, it's recommended to start with the wizard tutorial located under the menu, which guides you quickly through the process basics. Images can be easily added by dragging and dropping them into the window or from the "Edit" menu. The supported formats for images are JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, and MP3, OGG, WAV, WMV and MP4 for sounds.

Plus, you can make video recordings and configure its settings, such as resolution, aspect ratio, record type, frequency, audio and video bitrate, along with estimated size, destination folder, and mark them to be uploaded to YouTube or Facebook.

threecubes Slideshow HD gives you the option to choose the maximum duration of the slideshow, from a few seconds to hours, move the pictures in the timeline wherever you want, cut and delete them at any given time. You can enter multiple captions in the same photo, with different font types, styles, sizes and colors, along with shadows, direction, blur and depth.

Clicking on an item brings up a small window, which, unfortunately, can't be resized for those with poor eyesight. It lets you set a time duration, rotation angle, stretch it, add particular transitions from a large gallery, as well as effects (e.g. diagonal, slide, zoom in and out) and filters, such as contrast, gloom, color levels, blur, noise, sphere or pixelate. The output is saved in SHD file format.

Threecubes Slideshow HD is a reliable and fun application that comes in handy for everyone who wants to design customized slideshows for personal or work use, utilizing favorite images to which you can apply transitions, effects, filters and captions.
