"A New Look at Photodex
ProShow Gold and Producer"

MEETING DATE: November 18, 2011

Our own Bill Silverman, the head of the graphics workshop, will bring us up to date concerning the recent improvements in ProShow Gold and Producer. There are a load of wonderful and new features that include styles, new transition effects, moderators, a wizard, easy upload to YouTube, Facebook, creating DVDs and Blu-Ray output, and much more. Styles are prefabricated add-ons to a slide that greatly enhance its interest and value. Bill will also go over some of the features that you may not be too familiar with. These would include the audio editor, the video editor, doing voice overs, chroma key transparency.

Photodex's ProShow Gold and Producer are award winning programs for creating memorable slide shows that are both artistically beautiful and  emotionally touching. You are given the ultimate set of controls to create a true masterpiece. Go to www.photodex.com to see what these programs can do. You will be amazed. Bill has a special connection with Photodex. He is a beta tester for Producer. He has given them many suggestions which have greatly improved the capabilities of these programs, including the suggestion that they incorporate the use of layers and transparency. Bill was also the first person to ever use their software to create 3D slide shows using anaglyphs and colored 3D glasses.

If time permits, Bill may also have a special bonus. His latest Producer creation.

Bill is also trying to get Photodex to donate a copy of either ProShow Gold or Producer to either auction off or to raffle off to help raise money for the BCUG treasury.
