MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD 8 deluxe makes you the director of your own slideshow. Transform your photos and videos into cinema-quality TV experiences: the software offers camera pans and zooms, high quality transitions, 3D animations and many more creative templates. Round off your project with the right music for any occasion.

More effects, more templates, more possibilities

Your digital image collection grows every day, and now you can transform these images and videos into breathtaking slideshows in just three steps. Import your photos and videos from camera phones, digital cameras, memory cards or the Internet. Then add effects and music, and finally, enjoy the show with your whole family.

Advanced design - Dynamic effects

Experience the fascination of dynamically editable effects. Pictures, videos and movement effects can be designed along the timeline.

Artistic image distortion filters

Turn your images into mosaics, colour them or add a fish-eye lens. Distort or beautify images to transform them into true works of art.

3D titles and text animations

Complete your slideshows with matching captions and text with a three-dimensional character. 100 customisable templates offer different font types, styles and animations. Rotate or tilt letters, even make them glow. Add clips to your slideshows without any problems.

Slow and fast motion effects

Use the fast motion effect to shorten or stylise, or try slow motion to make faster sequences easier to view. Video stabilisation will help you restore and save shaky video sequences.

Rhythmic image cuts

No complicated on-beat editing required: Your photo and video slideshow will be edited automatically in time with the beat, synchronous to the music. The software now includes even better sound optimisation for video sound, background music and spoken commentary.

Extensive presentations – Output on Blu-ray Disc

Make the most of HD quality throughout the entire editing process and burn your slideshows onto high-resolution Blu-ray Discs. Use the integrated HD slideshow player to present the slideshow. The slideshow wizard is always available to help and will guide you through functions and applications.

Direct YouTube upload

Upload your photos and slideshows directly from the program to YouTube, or transfer your slideshows via Bluetooth or infrared to your mobile phone or PDA.
