Summary

FotoMagico is a slideshow editor for photographers that combines photos, video, maps, text, audio, and snippets into presentations. It plays slideshows at full resolution without a rendering wait. Its Animation Assistant applies movement styles, while Map Assistant animates travel routes. An image browser connects to Apple Photos, local storage, iCloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox, and projects can sync between iPad and Mac through iCloud Drive. Sharing options include direct YouTube and Vimeo uploads, standalone-player exports, and ProRes exports; presentations can also be controlled with PowerPoint-compatible remote clickers. The full feature set is available for a 14-day trial. Afterward, FotoMagico remains a free player, but editing requires a valid licence. It is available for macOS and iPadOS, with no Windows version. Mac use requires Apple Silicon or a 64-bit Intel Mac running OS X Catalina 10.15.2 or newer. Plans include a free player, $7.99 USD per month, or $79.99 USD per year.

Who it is for

It suits photographers who want to assemble and present slideshows on a Mac or iPad. Its map animation and media-source integrations may also suit people building travel or photo presentations.
