dotTech Advice

Taking a quick look at it, I can best describe Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Standard as a semi-enhanced version of Windows Live Movie Maker in the body of old Windows Movie Maker. I say semi-enhanced because of the features it does have (effects, style, photo editing, outputting to many different video formats, etc.) it does better than Windows Live Movie Maker. However, the issue is Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Standard is the limited-features edition; if you want all the features you need to pony up for Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe (US$59.95). The most notable features missing in Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Standard are:

  • The ability to add slide transitions;
  • Modify photo durations;
  • Pan/zoom;
  • And add videos into slideshow.

Honestly with the features that it lacks, I am not sure I would personally use Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Standard over Windows Live Movie Maker if I ever had to make a slideshow out of photos/videos. The lack of transitions, no control over photo durations, and the inability to add videos kills the program for me. However, if you recognize these limitations and want to give Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Standard a try, by all means do so. Since it is free the only things you will waste are (hopefully) time, bandwidth, and electricity.
