Review: Movavi Slideshow Maker, an easy way to create slideshows

Although slideshows are most often associated with presentations, they can be used for a lot more than that. In fact if you’re able to create slideshows with a bit of polish, you can even create a variety of different types of video content, photo compilations, and much more.

While it is true there are many different ways to create slideshows, most tend to be either fairly complicated or with nothing but the bare bones in terms of features. That’s why Movavi Slideshow Maker is such an interesting prospect as it will provide you with an advanced set of features wrapped in a package that is easy to use and user-friendly.

One of the best aspects of Movavi Slideshow Maker is that it offers two modes – “Easy” and “Full Feature.” As you can guess the Full feature mode will give you unfettered access to the full range of its features, and allow you to apply them as and how you see fit. On the other hand the Easy mode will provide you with a more structured approach in the form of a simple step-by-step wizard that will let you add images to use as slides, connect them with animated transitions, and include background music.

In short you will be able to choose which mode you feel best suits your needs. If you would like to be able to quickly create a slideshow with absolutely no hassle, Movavi Slideshow Maker’s Easy mode is a great place to start. Alternatively if you would prefer to have more control and fully customize how your slideshow looks and feels than the Full Feature mode is going to be a better choice for you.
