The ProShow Devices plug-in takes the guesswork out of playing your slideshows on your favorite mobile and TV devices. It works directly with ProShow Gold or Producer to create videos compatible with any device you select, including the new iPhone 4S, iPad, Apple TV and more.
How It Works
1. Create / open the show in either ProShow Gold or ProShow Producer.
2. In the ‘Create Output’ menu, select ‘Devices’ and choose your device.
3. Click ‘Create.’ ProShow renders your video to the exact spec for the device.
That’s all! Simply transfer the video onto your device and play.

Composition is all about the conscious arrangement of the elements in your slideshow to achieve the result you want. You probably already have learned first-hand, that the different ways you might present your images, video text and music, can inspire vastly different moods and reactions.
The good news is that anybody, not just artists, can use basic composition techniques to create more attractive and interesting slideshows. ProShow Gold and ProShow Producer offer some pretty handy, built-in composition tools that can help you utilize these techniques.

We recently came across this pretty amazing wedding video by Elysium Productions, that captures an entire wedding party lip-syncing to a song to create a wedding-day music video. Just watch the video and you’ll see what we mean.
Pretty amazing feat considering they shot and edited this all in one day!
This happens to be the same wedding couple that turned their engagement photos into a US Weekly tabloid-inspired save the date.
What do you think? Cool or too crazy?
