Pros
I have used this version for many years and have found it to meet my needs without the need to upgrade. It is an excellent piece of software.
Cons
I downloaded this for a relative and found that the software is a TRIAL version. A fact not revealed in the CNET description. Crafty and sly
Pros
Perfect for making a family history slideshow and worked great with all my old photos that I scanned in.
Cons
Only wish I had more time to play with it!
Pros
Product is OK, in fact good
Cons
Customer assistance is not what it should be, Tech's replys have undertone of "Its your problem, not mine"
Summary
If you never need any help then go for it, if you need help Good Luck
Pros
Ease of use
Plenty of features
Cons
Difficult to arrange sound and slide sequences
Expensive
Summary
A good program with many useful features but synching sound bits to individual slides is confusing and difficult. The price is much more than other similar programs with similar features.
Pros
If you enjoy making terrific slideshows of your photos and videos, this is by far the #1 product out there. Blows the others away, and the output looks really professional. They also provide excellent service and support. Highly recommended.
Cons
I'd be nitpicking if I could think of one.
Pros
You can create an instant, professional looking show with the wizard.
As you get to know the tools, you soon discover how creative you can be.
Cons
Can't think of any.
Summary
I have been using this for about 4 years now and have upgraded to Producer which is essentially the same with lots of extra wizards and effects.
Pros
Easy to use slide show software with many features
Cons
Not able to use some MP3 files as soundtracks because they appear as DirectShow on the ProShow Gold drop-down file listings. Photodex tech staff claims this is a problem unique to me and has suggested re-installing the program. But a new installation on a different machine exhibits the same problem when using the "details" file listing. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Summary
Very good slide show software with the frustrating exception noted above.

I've never had this problem, so I'm not sure what's going on in your case.
Pros
EASY TO USE, IMPLEMENT GRAPHIC EFFECTS, AND CREATING DVDs, WAS ALL DONE WITH A FEW CLICKS.
Cons
SMALL ICONS TO SHOW THEMES AND TRANSITIONS BUT OPERATIONS ARE SIMPLISTIC .
Summary
A GOOD CHOICE FOR CREATING ANIMATED GRAPHIC PICTURE PRESENTATIONS.
Pros
Very easy to use, wizard is nice
Cons
WATERMARK ON OUTPUT!
Summary
Don't say fully functional trial if it's NOT!!!! If you are not planning on spending the $69.95 don't waste your time.

It is fully functional with the ADDITION of the "watermark". You can't expect a smaller company like this to allow people to make free slideshows for 15 days. They are not Microsoft or Adobe. Your comment about not planning of spending $69.95 indicates you wanted free use for 15 days and had no intent of buying the program.
Pros
Powerful, flexible, intuitive, and forgiving
Cons
None that I found
Summary
I used this program 'out of the box' to create a memorial video for my wife of 43 years - Lynn. I am a computer professional but I certainly was in shock! I did it with no training and little tutorial viewing. Your program was all of the things that I've already stated. I made three 'takes' in three days - 135 photos and three songs. The third 'take' was lauded and such a professional product that our family and friends suggested that I should create these videos as a profession. That's high praise indeed!
