ProShow Web 20% Off Special Offer

Derek and I were at WPPI with Burrell Imaging back in February this year (I know, long time ago right?) and we were privileged to meet some amazing companies. One product I was particularly impressed with was ProShow Web by the same people who make ProShow Producer. Essentially, they’ve taken their amazing desktop slideshow and animation software and reproduced it on the web. It’s designed specifically for pro-photogs who need precise control of their slideshows and can benefit from the many gorgeous themes, transitions, music styles and timing options.

On a very practical and profitable level you could be selling video slideshows at a high margin with very little effort.

The video above by Discovery Bay Studios is an example of a Casual Wedding theme which is great for adding some fun and polished effects to an up-beat wedding slideshow.

The CocoVision video above* is something I threw together in a couple of minutes without much tweaking or finessing my image selection. Admittedly, they’re all picture of my daughter Coco and i’m hardly going to be as judicious in my culling as you are going to be with your customers!

From start to finish I was able to create this video in less than 30 minutes: 10 minutes for image importing, 5 minutes to trial and select my theme, 5 minutes for music selection and uploading and 10 minutes of test renders before being satisifed with my final mix. Out-of-the-box there are so many great looking templates that will make your videos come alive, as well as loads of options to tweak and finesse to create a unique look.

I love the ability to easily post directly to Facebook, to download the video in full HD or posting the video directly into my PhotoMerchant website. They’ve provided all the tools and template a serious photographer needs to make their images come alive through animation.
