Photo Flash Maker : Create simple SWF Flash slideshows from images with common file extensions using this straightforward app that lets you preview results
Photo Flash Maker is an intuitive and speedy software program that facilitates a user-friendly interface to help you put together SWF slideshows from common image files. It offers support for BMP, JPEG, TGA, ICO and PNG.
Pay attention to the installer
The setup procedure doesn't take a long time to finish. However, since it's ad-supported, Photo Flash Maker offers to download and install third-party components that it doesn't actually need to work properly. These modules can be excluded from setup, though.
Add images to create slideshows
As far as the GUI is concerned, Photo Flash Maker adopts a large window with a clear-cut structure, where you can begin by adding as many images as you want to the task list from individual files or entire directories.It's possible to check out each picture in the main window, edit resolution and frame rate of each one, arrange the pics in any order in the list, preview the slideshow, and save it as a Flash compilation by simply pointing out its output folder and file name. There are no other notable options available here.
Evaluation and conclusion
We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the utility didn't hang, crash or display error messages. It put together slideshows swiftly while remaining light on CPU and RAM usage, so it didn't hamper system performance.On the other hand, Photo Flash Maker comes bundled with just a few options and doesn't make room for too much customization. We must also take into account the fact that it hasn't been updated for a long time. Nevertheless, it offers a fast and straightforward solution to creating Flash video files from common photo formats without worrying about complicated features.
