Make MP4 Photo Slideshow on Mac

If you have lots of photos taken with your digital cameras, cell phones, or other mobile devices, most probably you'd transfer them to your computer for backup, management or enjoyment. However, the still pictures may look a little bit monotonous. Why not make a dynamic slideshow of your favorite photos with music, theme, transitions, effects, text, and more? Why not turn the still photos into moving slideshow videos and bring them to life?

As to the output video format, I believe MP4 is the best choice. It is due that MP4 is compatible with most modern mobile devices and it allows streaming over the Internet. If you choose to output your photo slideshow as an MP4 video file, you will be able to easily get it transferred to portable devices like iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Samsung Galaxy, HTC, Xbox, and more for playback. You can also upload the video file to video streaming websites like YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc. for sharing with your online friends. Moreover, you can copy the video to a USB drive for playing on the big screen of HDTV.

A pretty good Mac app that creates MP4 photo slideshow with ease is DVD Photo Slideshow for Mac. With this slideshow maker, you can turn photos and music into a vivid slideshow movie in no time. There are various transitions, themes, Pan & Zoom effects, etc. to choose from. Beside, you have the choices to set photo duration and transition duration, crop the images, add text, rotate the photos, arrange the photo order, and more.

"So I have a MacBook Pro. I'm trying to make a slideshow and put it on a disk. iDVD has been giving me a lot of trouble and it is hard for me to work with. I worked on iDVD for a few hours one night and when I tried to reopen the application it said my themes were lost, something along those lines? What is the most efficient way to make this slideshow?"

Anyway, you should feel happy that iDVD is still available on your Mac. For those who own Macs shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion and 10.8 Mountain Lion, iDVD is no longer provided. It is not available on the Mac App Store with all of the other iLife apps either. It is, however, only available in the boxed copy of iLife '11.

Whether iDVD frustrated you or was dropped from your Mac, you have reason to find a third-party application to replace iDVD and burn a photo slideshow DVD on your Mac. A pretty good app that works is named DVD Photo Slideshow for Mac. It lets you create photo slideshow movie and burn photo slideshow DVD with ease. Just like iPhoto, DVD Photo Slideshow for Mac enables you to make a slideshow of your favorite photos with music, transitions, theme, Pan & Zoom, effects, and more within several minutes. You can output your slideshows as MP4 or MOV files. Better than iPhoto, DVD Photo Slideshow for Mac has the ability to burn your slideshows to DVD discs directly. It is really the best iDVD alternative for Mac users.

DVD Photo Slideshow Review

No matter how poor is the information, presenting it in an interesting manner will still get you some points. If your friend has better vacation pictures to show, you can still capture the audience by showing them a neat presentation. That's where DVD Photo Slideshow comes in. The name should be self explaining, but if you're a bit slow, it lets you create neat slideshows with tons of transition effects, themes, menus, and more.

If your Internet connection is sluggish, you should start downloading before going on vacation and by the time you get back, it should be done. The installation package is about 28 MB large, but at least the installation itself goes without a hitch. You won't need to install anything else or restart your PC.

Although it looks complex, you don't need to be an advanced user in order to create a slideshow with this program. The interface works like a wizard with main buttons arranged in the order of the steps you need to take. First is the photo organizer where you browse through your folders and add images in the designated area. Here you can also choose transition effects and album themes. There's no advanced editing required here. Everything is neatly organized so that all you have to do is to select or click and drag. The second main button lets you choose menus for the slideshow. Again, it only implies selecting a menu and a few extra, but easy options. Finally you can burn your slideshow to a DVD. If DVD Photo Slideshow looks and feels too simple, the range of output formats helps you a lot in this regard. You can burn it as a DVD video disc, Blu-ray, MPEG-4, and many more. You can even export it in a format for your iPad or other iDevices.
