Slideshow Wizard

Slideshow Wizard is a feature-rich and approachable program designed to offer an easy method of viewing different image collections and generate Adobe Flash slideshows using sounds, effects, and various styles.

In order for the program to run without problems is recommended to have Adobe Flash Player installed on the computer. It's wrapped in a modern and accessible interface with an image player in the middle of the panel and all the necessary tools on the left and right sides of the window.

Since the app doesn't provide an option for adding a whole folder, so you are stuck at either inserting them one by one or selecting all of them, which might take some time to process. Plus, you can save the slideshow as a single SWF file where the pictures are inserted inside, or you can export it as an XML file with all the data stored in a subfolder.

Flash Slideshow Wizard generates the complete HTML code and the required items to embed the slideshow into your webpage. Some of the offered styles that you can apply are photo gallery, banner rotation, 3D cube, carousel, and slideshow.

The background can be set to be transparent, gradient color or image fill, as well as choose the picture quality and shape. Plus, the app lets you insert a URL that when clicking on it sends you to a specific page.

The sound files have to be in MP3 and WAV format in order for the program to read them. It can be placed outside or inside the Flash banner, along with the option to set the encode quality. In addition to audio, you can add various effects, such as snowflakes, firefly, stars, cloud, leaves, or heart, as well as modify the color, number and the speed.

Taking everything into account, Slideshow Wizard is a useful and user-friendly utility that helps you generate Flash-based slideshows with transition effects and custom sounds that can be easily embedded in your website.
