1.0 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere, September 13, 2005

Chummy (Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: TV SlideShow Studio (CD-ROM)

I recently purchased TV SlideShow Studio and spent many hours creating a presentation that would be shown at my daughter's wedding reception. What I found after the effort was that, despite periodically saving my work -- or so I thought -- NONE of my work was saved.

Abacus Publishing's Tech Support, after waiting more than a week after I asked how to get a file to save properly, finally responded -- by noting that the problem was apparently known, and the problem would not appear in the upcoming Version 2 of the product. That, of course, did me no good whatsoever; I paid for a product that does not function properly.

There are some very nice features in this product and it offers much promise, particularly given its relatively low cost. But if the presentation cannot be saved, what good does any of this do?

Look elsewhere if you're seeking software to put together a presentation of your photographs.

1.0 out of 5 stars DOES NOT SAVE!!, December 26, 2005

This review is from: TV SlideShow Studio (CD-ROM)

I purchased this program to put together a 20 minute project. I also saved the project every 10 minutes only to find out after the program was closed that the file never actually saved. Lost hours of work. Avoid this software.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Buggy!, January 6, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: TV SlideShow Studio (CD-ROM)

I recently purchased and installed TV Slideshow Studio 2.5 ... it was a BIG mistake!
Every time I tried to select a transition from the transition screen by double-clicking, the program aborted with a 'memory could not be read' error.
When I tried to create a VCD slideshow(NOT a VCD disk), the compression progress screen would abort with an 'Invalid Pointer' error.
This program has many nice features, but it's definitely not ready for prime time! Save your money!
