Unless you try and capture a series of screenshots, and them arrange them in something like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie, it's not exactly easy. Thankfully, you will soon be able to do such a thing online (with live-updating website views) as Diigo has previewed a new product called ...

Being able to access your work wherever you are is key to pretty much anyone involved with the internet. The same goes for creators of movies and slideshows, whether they are for fun, school or for business. Sometimes it might take a little longer than expected to mix a video video or create a slideshow. You might have to finish while on the run, or at different venues, and having these items in ...

Animoto is a fun way to add some hollywood to your old, dull, same as everyone else's slideshow. You know those family vacation, special event, or even worse - yawn corporate outing or shareholder meetings. Animoto isn't the kiss of death to Powerpoint unfortunately, but it will add some zip and keep people's eyes open when it's "your turn" to show 'em something.

This morning I saw a blog post on the CodeJam blog about a new update to MemoriesOnTV, but the big item in the post was that they were bringing back MemoriesOnWeb, a freeware slideshow creator application.
The application uses the same engine as MemoriesOnTV so you have lots of features and control. In the slideshow you can mix multiple audio tracks and sync up your photos to the audio. And with ...

While I'm not nearly convinced by the claim that Empressr is "the first web-based application that lets you create, share and store presentations online" (did it come before Thumbstacks?), it does indeed let you do that, and does it pretty well. It's a Flash-based app, which makes it smooth and responsive, and has most of the features you need to make basic presentations. PowerPoint users will ...
