Photo to Movie 3.2 (Mac OS X) lets Macintosh users turn digital photographs into QuickTime movie slide shows quickly and easily. This revolutionary new tool incorporates a powerful version of the “Ken Burns effect” to bring photos alive with motion. Photo to Movie also lets you add music tracks, voice narration, and a variety of slide-to-slide transitions. Photo to Movie files can be burned to DVD, posted on the Web, and even emailed.

Photo to Movie uses a special algorithm to optimize each frame, nearly eliminating flicker when played on a TV. The tool assigns a motion effect to each image included in the file. This motion effect is called the “Ken Burns effect” because of its frequent use by the award-winning PBS documentary filmmaker.

Photo to Movie offers a number of preset motions, each of which can be customized to achieve specific effects—zooming in to highlight faces, for example. Photo to Movie also lets you choose from a variety of transitions, including cross dissolves, wipes, and even a 3D cube-effect transition. Music and voice narrations can be integrated into slide-show movies, as well as theatrical movie-style titles, credits, and descriptions.

Completed slide-show movies can be emailed, published to Web sites, burned to DVD using software such as iDVD, or they can be edited further with movie-editing software such as iMovie.
