This week’s show comes from Artäge Pictures and features a really cool and interesting way to use video to create a behind-the-scenes look to a slideshow. Watch and you’ll see what we mean, a great technique that’s sure to bring back the emotion of the night for the couple!
If you’re selling slideshows but not using video clips, you may be losing out on a lot of profit potential.
The average slideshow buyer generally regards slideshows that feature video clips as having greater overall value. With a few small changes to your shows and a little creative marketing, you can easily use that perception to your advantage and create additional revenue for your business.
It’s easy to edit your video clips in ProShow Gold, Producer and ProShow Web.

One of the top design-related questions we get asked by ProShow users is how they can make their portrait-oriented photos look their best in a slideshow. Since almost all shows nowadays are formatted to fit a 16:9 screen, a portrait photo doesn’t fill the frame very well and can leave black margins on either side of your image.
If you don’t like the look of these black margins, try adding a background or slide style to your portrait photo to give it a more professional and polished appearance.
We recently came across this article on the 1000memories website that uncovered some amazing facts about where the largest photo libraries are housed online.
If you take a look at the graphic below you’ll see that Facebook dwarfs even the Library of Congress as the largest photo library online. It hosts 4% of all photos EVER taken and this year alone, over 70 billion photos will be upload to the site.
Pretty amazing to see where people are sharing their photos and how Facebook’s dominance continues to grow. Do you upload many of your photos to Facebook to share with friends and family?
This week’s show comes from ProShow Producer user Len Brewer. He shares a wonderful slideshow he put together for his daughter’s college graduation.
Created with ProShow Producer.
“I created a video for my daughter’s high school graduation and it turned out to be really popular with family and on YouTube (over 225,000 views!)
That video prompted my daughter to burst into tears and run across the room to give me a hug. So, I really felt pressure to equal that reaction with her college graduation video.
Tonight we are congratulating our President and Founder, Paul Schmidt, on his nomination for the Austin Business Journal’s Best CEO award.
The winner will be announced at tonight’s event, so keep your fingers crossed. We’re in the running with some really amazing companies and we’re so grateful for the wonderful recognition.
Good luck tonight Paul!
