When you think of slideshow software, you generally think of high-end, professional-grade software that takes hours to master and is built around specific niche industries like education, photography, and content creation. Why? Because industries that require the use of hundreds and thousands of photographs, generally also utilize slideshows. So, what about those who just want something quick, easy, and for use at home, while not sacrificing hours of time and professional quality? SmartSHOW 3D is the answer. We’ve had the luxury of downloading this photo slideshow software and trying it out for ourselves and here is what we found!

Downloading Is Easy, Setup Easy, and Use Even Easier!

Unlike other software programs that come with bloated and unnecessary files, SmartSHOW 3D is less than 150mb to install, making it quick and painless to get going. This also means that anyone with a computer built in the past decade will be able to run the program and install it without trouble. Clicking through the setup process is as simple as choosing where you want to install the program and letting it run. You can choose to launch it after installation and create a desktop icon.

Once we launched the program, we were provided three options. Either create a new project, create a slideshow in five minutes or open a previously created project. We chose to go with the five-minute slideshow, just to see what the program can offer to those who are new to slideshows in general.

5-Minute Slideshow is Entertaining & Fantastic to Use

We were able to choose from several pre-themed categories including celebrations, classics, family and children, love and weddings, modern style, as well as travel and vacation. Each category came with five different pre-sets that we could choose from. To compile the slideshow, you simply choose the theme you want, click next, choose to add your photos and hit next. The program recommends fourteen photos minimum. Then you are prompted to add in some music and click done. Vola! Your spectacular 5-minute slideshow is complete. Or you can choose to add in animation, transitions, or more music from the storyboard. With over 350+ transitions, animation effects, and multiple music tracks and sound effects, there are endless options for making your slideshow complete.

SmartSHOW 3D Has an Intuitive Design Interface

What makes this photo slideshow software stand out against others on the market is how intuitive and easy the interface is to use. Upon loading the program up, there’s no doubt, question, or confusion about what you have to do to get the result you want. The storyboard window has a very easy to use tab-style interface, where you can choose to add in titles, clips, collages, photos & videos or you can click along the top of the tab-style navigation and choose from transitions, animation, music, or create. To add in any of these, you simply drag them down to the timeline on where you want them. There are over 100+ professionally designed templates and animation effects to choose from too, which makes the software incredibly fun to use.

Wrapping It Up: Professional Software That Is Perfect for Beginners

Even if you are new to photo slideshow software, you can still get professional-grade results with SmartSHOW 3D without previous knowledge. What makes SmartSHOW 3D standout beyond its easy to use interface and hundreds of options for 3D animation of photos, videos, and text, is the fact that you can convert your slideshows to video in 30+ popular formats.
