We had a previous version iPixSoft Flash Slideshow Creator 4.2.5 on November 28, 2013. Here are the old reviews:
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/flash-slideshow-creator-4-2-5/

You can download a set of free 47 templates from here, it is offered in a pop up window after program start.

A fancy blue, resizable interface opens. In the option you can change the general timing for the default slide show, font attributes and
default path. No options to change the language. The German translation is bad, partly simple not understandable, what it should mean. Somebody should really control the translation...

Two sample slideshows show the basics to create your own slideshow. It uses (in my test, output EXE) SWF Flash animation, you can expeort to HTML5 and upload your slideshow to their servers, where it will be kept for one year as a registered user. The output as video is useless, because it shows the slides on the left side, where you can not use the controls. The video should only show the animated window -> an error in my eyes.

A rather complete slideshow maker with a lot of effects. If you don't have any, you can take this. I made a short test, uploaded it to their servers. No, no pizza this time.

Uninstalled via reboot, don't need this.

Thanks for another excellent review Karl.

In my eyes and as a recommendation to the company, they should take action to lock down the root /giveaway/ URL folder to prevent anybody from publicly accessing the log files, which currently contains the up-loaders IP Address (just replace .html with .log to view it).

iPixSoft Video Slideshow Maker, Slideshow Factory ThunderSoft and Amazing Slideshow Maker are identical softwares frequently marketed with different names and version number. The proliferation of these clones is confusing for the user who can clutter up his computer with three similar applications without realizing it immediately.
I consider this marketing practice increasingly more widespread as particularly harmful to the consumer.

Stupefyingly inept software that does for slideshow creation what more Indians would've done for Custer.

A GUI so minimal that you wonder where the rest of it went provides for starting a new "project" by adding images from a fly-out browser (no drag 'n drop) but the browser, though opening onto a default x4 width -- 4 images in a row -- isn't even capable of coping with left-click / Shift for hooking in the pictures: the first two in every row are recognized but not the last two.

The "Help" document can't be bothered to explain anything much so you're left with a half-selection of images devoid of the user ability to time-line. . . or preview . . . or even enhance with an audio track. You can, however, fiddle around with contrast and brightness, as if the developer started off to design a slideshow creator but then gave up on the effort involved and moved into basic (very basic) photo editing. Adding a video will result in a preview facility appearing but it previews the, er, video; not the project-in-progress.

And what: this is $50 "professional video slideshow software"?

There are, as with all such junk software as this, oodles of "transitions" to pop in for no other purpose than to end up with a finished product nothing like anyone would ever wish to suffer through unless they're road-testing a new migraine medication. And somewhere, somehow, it may be possible to do something about image motion control -- though don't count on it. Finally, though there are samples to view, the slideshow masterpieces chosen comprise nothing more than stuttering jump-cut images that you could just as well have shoved into a screensaver in the first place.

Microsoft's entirely free Windows MovieMaker -- which is by no means the best slideshow creator out there -- nevertheless flattens this $50 farce, offering comprehensive controls, excellent rendering, thoughtful Help and the capacity to create a mixed stills/video production that will please the audience as much as the producer.

Thanks, then, GOTD but definitely, no thanks. As to the posts already appearing on here singing the praises of this software . . . Yeah. Right. Try again on April 1st, will you?

Hi Folks,

Does this program allow for any audio input, like music or, most important, voice recording which can be set to coordinate to slide duration?

I normally do not reply but only come to check out the software and often times the comments. I know Giovanni is the king of freeware and he may eventually drop in and mention this but in an effort to attempt to offer you a solution I offer this freebie.

It is free and opensource and works very well, also it is very easy to use without a need for tutorials (I think). Fairly nice set of features as well (2nd link above).

I have created slideshows and added music, you can record and overlay audio but I am not certain that portion exactly suits your needs.

I do hope you return and read this and find this a useful alternative, have a great week!
