Axialis Screensaver Producer 4.0

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Screensavers are among the most common pieces of software online, and a host of tools exist to help create them. But this download stands out from the crowd, scoring big points for its versatility, feature set, and ease of use. In its most traditional mode, it allows users to create screensavers from a set of images, setting transition effects and image duration. The time that an image stays on the screen can be set to match an included soundtrack. It does lack an internal image editor that would help rotate, resize, or crop pictures, however. The software is not confined to photos, allowing users to create screensavers from video files, Flash movies, and even Autodesk animations. It even allows some basic creation of new animations. The final, professional-looking output is produced as an SCR file or an installer. A shareware protection feature allows users to distribute and sell their creations. All told, we see this as one of the best utilities in its category, and would happily recommend it to anyone who wants to create their own screensavers.
