![]() ![]() Use the controls in the Options panel to change settings of selected items in the storyboard. Stage Area - Use the stage area to position, scale and rotate your image on the screen. Storyboard - Author your slideshow presentation by arranging your photos in a sequence and adding audio to it. Info Panel - Display a dimmed palette containing image file information. Slideshow Settings - Apply global settings, e.g. stage size, background color and a watermark image. QUICKSTART GUIDEThis section will introduce you to creating your first slideshow. Let's assume you have set FotoMagico's preferences to work with iPhoto as your image repository and that you have defined an iPhoto album called My Slideshow that contains the images you intend to use in your slideshow.TIP APERTURE This tutorial works just as well, if you opted for use of Aperture instead of iPhoto as your image repository. Simply replace iPhoto for Aperture in the text body.ġ. If you didn't set the preferences to create an empty document upon launch, create one now by choosing the menu command New (Command-N) from the File menu. On the computer screen, on your home TV set or on a projector.Īn assistant sheet will come up that lets you choose from several presentation scenarios, e.g. For sake of this tutorial choose Monitor and leave the option Display of this Macintosh checked. You will see the blank stage area at the top of the window and the empty storyboard at the bottom as well as the Images panel to the right of the document window. The popup menu at the top lists the iPhoto library and all iPhoto albums and slideshows. Select the album My Slideshow from this popup.ģ. This is what enabled me to output a 4K H264 mp4 video for upload to Vimeo.The contact sheet below this popup now displays all images of that album. If you get an error when trying to export an mp4 video at 4K using the Custom option, ensure that you select High Profile Auto for the Profile Level. I sometimes hit Export and then go and do something else, so I don’t want to sit on the process.Īnyway, hopefully this will all be changed soon, but for now, I’m using the Custom option from the Share menu, and specifying the following settings. You can stop the upload, but that means you have to be around until the rendering stops. The only other option for 4K video at the moment is YouTube, but you are currently forced to log in to YouTube, and FotoMagico then tries to upload the video after export, and I do not want my content on YouTube. The other thing is that although Vimeo support 4K video, there is no 4K video preset under Vimeo from the Share menu. To avoid this, I go in and fill out some of the information in the Slideshow > Settings > Info tab, then save the slideshow before adding any images. The project is saved OK, so this isn’t critical, but it’s a pain in the behind. ![]() This is probably the most stable version upgrade of FotoMagico that I’ve seen from Boinx Software in recent years, but there are a couple of things that I’d like to point out.įirstly, at the moment, as of version 5.0.6, if I add a few images to a new slideshow before saving it, when I do save it, FotoMagico takes forever, and I generally have to Force Quit the program. You can pick up a copy of Boinx Software’s FotoMagico 5 Pro on their web site or from the Apple App Store. Also see below for a little bit of additional information. I’ve put a small version of this video into the podcast feed, but to see the detail, take a look at the below video, and click on the full screen button (the four arrows pointing outwards) for the best experience. This week I’ve put together a video to walk you through the process of making a slideshow with Boinx Software’s latest release, FotoMagico 5 Pro.
