Soundslides
If you liked the sound-and-still-images presentations on the Magnum in Motion website, you might be interested in Soundslides – an impressive application for Mac OSX that enables users to easily create this type of multimedia presentation. Combining your still images with an audio track, titling and automatic caption info extraction, it exports it all as a Macromedia Flash piece ready for upload to any webserver. There are some sample slideshows to look at on their FAQ page
The software is created by Joe Weiss – interactive producer at The News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina – and there is a short review of Soundslides here. Joe also keeps track of some of some the best multimedia work that’s being produced on the net in his blog
