Boinx Software has released version 2.5 of FotoMagico, the slideshow creation tool for Mac OS X. The upgrade features support for Adobe Lightroom libraries, a teleprompter that shows notes for every slide on a presenter´s display and a new export option for uploading slideshow videos directly to YouTube.
FotoMagico 2.5 now supports the iMedia Browser framework, so users can now access GarageBand songs, iLife sound effects and their media libraries not only from iTunes, iPhoto and Aperture (Pro version) but also from other software including Adobe Lightroom (Pro version). With the new teleprompter of FotoMagico 2.5 Pro users can show their photos on one display and read their notes for every slide on another. They get a preview showing which pictures come next and can even jump back and forth to every slide in the storyboard with a click of the mouse.
The Sharing Assistant feature adds a new export option, allowing to upload photo presentation videos directly to YouTube . Video encoding for YouTube can be accelerated with the Turbo.264 video encoder hardware from Elgato.
The update to FotoMagico 2.5 is free of charge to current FotoMagico 2.x license owners at their current license levels. For new users it costs US$49; FotoMagico 2.5 Pro is available for $129. Commercial multi-user license discounts are available upon request.
