GiliSoft Slideshow Maker gives you a desktop workflow for turning photos or clips into slideshow videos with titles, text, transitions, filters, overlays, animation, and audio adjustments. This page is the practical setup and editing guide for the real interface.
The current interface supports media import, title cards, text layouts, trail cards, transitions, filters, overlays, animation, clip-level tuning, keyframes, audio adjustment, and timeline-based export.
Watch the slideshow workflow in action before following the written steps below. This is the fastest way to understand how media import, timeline editing, text, transitions, and export work together in GiliSoft Slideshow Maker.
The Media panel is where the project begins, and it supports importing files plus direct recording options.
If you want to build a slideshow from still images, keep adding pictures to the Video track in the order you want them to appear.
Background cards help you place visuals on a custom stage, while Title and Trail presets give you a quick way to create opening and ending frames.
The Text panel includes template categories, and subtitle actions are visible directly in the same area.
You can preview the change immediately in the player window and adjust the slideshow rhythm by changing transition choices across the timeline.
Overlay assets work well for birthday slideshows, romantic clips, cute social posts, and themed visual projects.
The left sidebar separates these editing layers clearly, so you can build motion and style one step at a time instead of mixing everything in one crowded panel.
If you are combining background music with spoken material, the separate Voiceover track helps keep the slideshow audio organized.
This is the main way to move from simple timeline arrangement into detailed clip adjustment inside Slideshow Maker.
The property tabs are where clip-level control happens before export, especially for movement, appearance, and sound.
The Video tab gives practical clip controls such as speed, reverse, flip, rotate, scale, position, and background fill choices like color, blur, or custom image.
Use the Color tab for contrast, saturation, brightness, tone, sharpen, and vignetting when your imported images need more consistency.
The Beauty controls include smooth, bright, tone, face lift, and big eyes settings for portrait-oriented slideshow clips.
The Animation tab applies in or out movement such as zoom, pendulum, mirror flip, and similar motion styles. Duration can also be adjusted here.
The Cutout area supports chroma key and auto cutout options, while the KeyFrame tab lets you build movement by adjusting rotation, transparency, scale, and position across time.
The Audio tab gives you volume, fade in, fade out, sound effect, equalizer, and noise reduction controls for cleaner playback.
Double-click the image or video clip on the timeline. That opens the detailed editing area where you can switch across Video, Color, Beauty, Animation, Cutout, KeyFrame, and Audio tabs.
Import your images into the Media panel first, then drag each picture to the Video track on the timeline. Arrange them left to right in the order you want the slideshow to play.
Open the Transitions section, choose a preset, and place it between two clips or images on the Video track. This creates a smoother slideshow flow than switching scenes with direct cuts only.
