Create a flash banner for your website

If you admire the website of sb’s, embedded impressive swf banners, and puzzle that why they make such snazzy transitions. In fact, it’s as easy as ABC with the help of some slideshow program.

http://www3.photo2vcd.com/resource/slideshow-software-review-table.html

BTW, My favorite is Wondershare Flash SlideShow Builder.

Here’s the sample:


codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,65,0"
id="banner"
width="571"
height="156">


quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" swLiveConnect="true"
width="571"
height="156"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">


Step 1. Prepare several pre-made images for your slideshow banner. I’ve got 5 in this banner.


Step 2. Browse. Add the images from your local drive to the story line. Click the Add button or double click the image. Drag and drop is fine, too.


Step 3. Transition Effect. Use Basic type effect and choose Fade, then apply to all. Set the duration of each slide (the number below and on the right of the image). Of course, you could select other transition effects. But I think Fade will be more suitable for a banner transition effects.



Step 4. Theme. Do remember to choose NONE (the first one).


Step 5. Publish. Use the settings and custom slide size exactly the same with your images, my setting is 571*156. Unclick Play with control bar and if you like, click the Display the preloader when loading Flash Movie. Then publish as swf or HTML.



Tips:


1. Click Edit to make optimization of your images.

2. The higher image conversion quality you choose, the larger the final result will be.

3. Preview your slideshow before publish it.

Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop, Choose Image->Adjustment->Desaturate (or Ctrl+Shift+U by default) to make the photo to black-and-white.


Step 2: Click Layer-> Duplicate Layer, duplicate the background as background copy



Step3: Use Image->Adjustment->Invert (or Ctrl+I by default), then the image will look like a negative.



Step 4: From the layer palette, set the blending options as Color Bodge.

SlideShow Software Review

Perhaps you have lots of funny or memorial photos, and would like a make a flash slideshow. However, you know nothing about flash, xml, JavaScript. So what? Well, don't waste your time and effort trying to master it from now on, unless you have enough time, money and patience. Searching in GOOGLE, you will find bundles of easy-to-use, nice and inexpensive tools for non-experts, like you and me!
Yep, I say, bundles of tools. So, what to look for in slideshow software?

1. Ease of Use.

The slideshow software should be easy to master. WYSIWYG interface is most important. Do remember, we’re not experts in Flash. Our purpose is to make a slideshow as easily as possible.

2. Features.

Transition effect is something attracting users most. Therefore, a large number of transitions are necessary, which make your slideshows more attractive. And software should have existing library, which means preset photos, music, background pictures, template, clipart, etc. are included. The software should also allow users to drag and drop photos from outside source, and control the duration. It’s better if the program allows editing the photos to suit your slideshow, importing music or adding narration. Last but not least, the ability to preview before publishing.

3. Output Format.


Basically, the slideshow can be published as SWF format. Some software provides publishing as exe, html, screensaver or online album as well.

4. Support.

Good software manufacturers should at least provide tutorials or manual that guides a user how to create a slideshow step by step. FAQ is needed, too. That brings convenience on only to users, but also to the manufacturer. Of course, if possible, we also need phone, fax or online support.

Click here to have a look at the review of 4 similar software: FlashSlider, Amara Flash SlideShow Builder, SWF’n Slide, Wondershare Flash SlideShow Builder. There’s no rating for each program, for in my opinion, it’ll be 5-star software if it exactly meets your needs.
