I just discovered new software that lets you create quality movies from your photos and videos. It’s called DVD Slideshow Builder, and there is a free version, which is intended for non-commercial use, and another, full version, which costs $59.95.

So, what is DVD Slideshow Builder? The program helps you turn your digital photos and videos into Hollywood-like movies, without any other software. All you have to do is import your photos and using pre-made movie styles, you can instantly create a DVD movie with titles, soundtrack and even special effects. It is very simple to use and the results are great!

You can add an unlimited amount of photos and create a professionally looking movie that tells the story behind the photos, in style! Think of it as a more advanced version of a slide show, but this looks better, sounds better and is more fun!

There are many movie styles to choose from, and they all make your photos look better and stand out. You can add one of these pre-made themes and even special effects, such as backgrounds, visual effects and animation. Your new movies will surely impress your audience.

You have the option to burn your photos to a DVD with a single click and watch them on a TV, or you can export the videos to one of the Internet formats such as clips you see on Youtube, Facebook and mobile devices.

If you need additional functions, such as video input and capture,  transition/motion effects, HD video output and technical support, you should purchase the full version.
