Concentrated multimedia power
MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD 8 deluxe provides a large number of multimedia functions
that help you really get the best out of your photos and make fascinating slideshows from good photos.
For example:

Image optimization: Typical errors (exposure, color, redeye, etc.) can be easily fixed using the
"1 click" effect. Picture size and position can be corrected, for example, by increasing the size, by
rotating, clipping, levelling the horizon, etc. Each editing step is non-destructive, i.e. the original
photos remain the same.

Transitions: Besides the many variations for "simple transitions" (e.g. soft fades, black fades,
page turn, wave, etc.), there are also complex transitions like picture-in-picture fades or thematic
3D fade series (gallery, photo table, notice board, etc.).

3D effect templates to reshape subjects and have them fly through the picture.

1-click animations for transforming photos into videos (jumping, mosaic, kaleidescope, etc.).

Titles & texts: You can enter text in various fonts and colors and position them wherever you
want in the picture. Dynamic movement of the titles and texts are also possible (for opening and
closing credits, for example).

Zooms & camera movements: Zoom into picture sections, pan across the picture!

Decorative elements and superimposed videos with cartoons, speech bubbles, costume
accessories, frames, etc.

Multimedia opening and closing credits with video templates including sound, personal texts,
and motifs.

Dubbing: Theme-related background music for every occasion is included. You can import your
own CDs and MP3s directly. The integrated MAGIX Soundtrack Maker is used for quickly
composing your own background music from musical templates. The recording functions enable
individual spoken commentary via microphone. Multiple options for sound optimization enhance
and unify all sound elements in one coherent audio track.
