This utility is a powerful way to create slide shows and screensavers from your digital photos. The interface is so straightforward and handy you'll likely figure it out without the help files, though less-experienced users might prefer using the step-by-step wizard. Bravo boasts more than 40 styles of slide show and an almost unparalleled amount of transition effects. For example, you can finely tune where an image is placed and how much time every scene takes. You can preview your creation from inside the program window and enhance it with your choice of background music and images. Bravo quickly builds attractive screensavers for home use but won't let you add text, customize sound, or add transition effects to separate images. If you want your slide shows to resemble works of art, Bravo provides you with an excellent way to do the job.
What’s new in version 2
Version 2.0 preserves the pattern-based styles for rapid show creation, but a style can now consist of multiple patterns which allows transitions within the show. Users can copy, edit and merge styles. This version also adds support for exporting AVI and MP4 video.
Absolutely the best I have seen with LOTS of options.

Pros
Lots and lots of options! Apparently it can do anything you are wanting, though I do not pretend to know all it can do, there's just to much to know here. If you want a file folder of still images to pan/zoom/fade etc. this is the program for you.
Cons
It took me awhile to install as I had to first update DirectX, but once that was done it went very well.
Summary
Easy, fast and creates great shows.

Summary
I have three digital cameras, and thousands of photos on my hard-drive. I evaluate every new slideshow tool I can find. This is the easiest to use of any I've found, and the first one that's made me say "wow". It isn't "one image at a time" like most software is. I recommend the publisher put some flash or something on their website so that people could see how different the slideshows are. Out of dozens of downloads in the last few months, this is the first one in a long time I plan to buy.
