PhotoStage turns digital pictures, photos, video clips, music, and narration into video slideshows. Arrange slides by dragging them or start with Quick Create, then add transitions, pans, fades, zooms, crops, or Ken Burns effects. Image controls adjust brightness, color, and saturation; photos can also be rotated or flipped, with captions and animated titles available. For sound, you can add music and effects, record or import narration, and draw on a royalty-free music and sound-effects library. PhotoStage supports 4K and full HD output, including 720p and 1080p, and the product page says projects can be made offline. Finished work can be burned to DVD, uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or Flickr, saved to mobile devices, or exported as HTML5 video. It runs on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. The free version is 0.00 USD per free, does not expire, includes most features, and is limited to non-commercial use. PhotoStage is presented for personal slideshows as well as business presentations such as real-estate, product, and marketing showcases.
