What Bolide Slideshow Creator is
Bolide Slideshow Creator turns photos and music into video slideshows on Windows. It supports almost any image format and common audio formats including MP3, AAC, WMA, M4A and OGG. Users can choose from dozens of transitions, including pan and zoom, or have transitions applied automatically. Finished videos can be exported as MP4, MKV, AVI, WMV or FLV at resolutions up to 1920×1080. The maker says the exported files have no Bolide logo or watermark and can be uploaded to YouTube or Facebook. The program supports Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Its Freeware plan is free for personal use on Windows, with no paid edition or trial period. The product is designed for photo slideshows; users who want video clips on the timeline are directed to Bolide Movie Creator. Its privacy policy says the program may send download data, an anonymous identifier, registration data, its version and a computer ID code to the maker’s server. Feedback and support requests can be sent through the maker’s contact form.
