MaxMedia Light Edition

MaxMedia Light Edition is an intuitive program designed to help you create interactive presentations, product catalogs, kiosks, CD-cards or image collections. They can contain numerous pictures, videos, sounds or text boxes.

It's wrapped in a well-structured and accessible interface, consisting of a preview area, a quick toolbar, and the properties panel, where all the changes are made. It's recommended to have DirectX and Windows Media Player installed on the drive for the app to run properly.

To use the program, you don't need to learn any complicated programming languages, as you can combine photos, text, sounds, videos and HTML elements. To insert multiple slides, simply press the "+" button situated in the toolbar. The pages can be viewed by dragging the slider located at te top.

MaxMedia lets you configure each slide with individual background colors, gradient styles or wallpapers, as well as apply a few filters (e.g. grayscale, sepia, emboss) and enter watermarks. You can set a transition effect, such as slide, shrink, expand, cross or push.

It's possible to add music (MP3, WAV, MIDI) by double-clicking on the field. You can then select if the songs should be played continuously or just once. You have the option to insert geometrical shapes (e.g. rectangle, ellipse, circle, triangle), images, videos (AVI, MPEG) and text boxes.

Each element can be moved to any location in the page, resized, edited and deleted. The app lets you publish the project as an executable file, screensaver or burn it on a CD.

Taking everything into account, MaxMedia is a comprehensive application that comes in handy when you want to make professional-looking presentations for the team, CD covers or photo albums. The program offers support pictures, text, video and audio elements.
