Original Press Release:
NewSoft Simplifies DVD and VCD Photo Slideshow Creation with the Launch of Presto! PhotoDisc 1.0
Easy-to-Use Workflow and Themed Templates Turn Photos into Professional-Looking Slideshows in Three Quick Steps
FREMONT, CA (September 27, 2004) - NewSoft, a leading provider of innovative business and consumer software, introduced their new digital photo slideshow suite, Presto! PhotoDisc 1.0. A truly user-friendly solution, the software's ready-to-use templates and step-by-step workflow walk users from photo collection to dynamic slideshow in three quick steps. PhotoDisc users can burn their slideshows to VCD, SVCD or DVD for anytime viewing from the comfort of the family room couch, using a standard home DVD player and TV. Complete with DVD motion menus, animated titles, transition effects, sound bites and music, Presto! PhotoDisc 1.0 makes it easy for users of all experience levels to show their memories to family and friends with confidence.
"As the popularity of digital cameras continues to grow, so does the need to quickly, easily and creatively manage those images," said James Li, President of NewSoft Technology. "Presto! PhotoDisc 1.0 takes the work out of building a slideshow, enabling our customers to fully enjoy the instant gratification, and versatility they expected when they switched from traditional film to digital cameras."
Users can choose one of the 25 included still or motion backgrounds, or select one of their own photos for a truly one-of-a-kind slideshow. After picking the photos for the slideshow project, Presto! PhotoDisc 1.0 automatically creates a ready-to-burn slideshow, complete with transitions, frames and a Hollywood-style DVD menu.
To make the slideshow even more entertaining, users can add customized text and nearly 20 motion transition effects including pan and zoom capability, import sound effects or even record an audio commentary or annotation up to 30 seconds long for each slide (supports: wav, wma, mp3 or mp2). Users can set the mood for their slideshow by simply dropping in their favorite music file. If the chosen tune is too long, Presto! PhotoDisc 1.0 users can set the utility to automatically fade out the audio during the final 2 seconds for a more professional slideshow. For the final touch, Presto! PhotoDisc 1.0 users can further customize their digital slideshows by creating a one of a kind label for their VCD, SVCD or DVD using the integrated CD labeling software.
NewSoft's Presto! PhotoDisc 1.0 supports a broad range of standard media formats including: VCD, SVCD, DVD-/+R, DVD-/+RW and the new double layer DVD format.
