Proshow gold is great and sucks in the same time.

It is great for the effects, audio syncronize, easy operation

But their quality still sucks !

I wonder how you guys can be satisfied with that blurish picture.
It lacks clarity even in the highest possible rates
If somebody here says that quality was good, they just haven't seen a good quality.

Second -- do not support more than 720x576 pixels. It says it was out of standard. HA-ha-haaaaaa ! for custom setting !!!
Hey you guys from Photodex, do you know the limitations of the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards ???

Also I wrote them 3 months ago that making a CBR slideshow is at least stupid. Today I tryed their latest version. What a dissapointment -- the same blurry picture and the same CBR etc..
So I had the idea to make a temporary mpg file (with a resolution of 1280x960 -- which is the resolution of my raw material) by using their effects only and then resize and recompress (CQ mode).
But noooo ! It was out of standart to have so many pixels. Bad, bad, bad.
I don't know why and on which stage do they put all this blur.
Even if you pre-resize your pictures the blur exists in the final result
