Slide.ly Apps

Slide.ly is an instantaneous and straightforward way to generate social video clips utilizing your beloved photos and music and share it promptly with your buddies on all well-known interpersonal websites. This online tool leads you generate slideshows using your favorite photos.  

Demonstrations in PowerPoint have been modifying along the years. Regardless of that bunch of people is still utilizing entire paragraphs and lot of texts in the delivering presentations, these days it is extremely typical to see slides utilizing full images. You can get the most from photos stored in Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and using Slide.ly you can simply create a PowerPoint presentation or a photo slideshow with online and offline photographs.

SlideOnline and Authorstream are two well-known websites which makes it possible for you to host your PowerPoint presentations online but you simply cannot use any of these sites to generate a photo slideshow from scratch. There are some other online services like Microsoft office web apps, Google Docs Zoho and even Prezi are some advanced resources to generate delivering presentations online but none of them leads you to create effortless photo slideshows as fast and as easily as Slide.ly does.

Differences to other apps?
This app enables users more innovative features than simple slideshow apps. Online Slideshows can be produced using Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Pickplz, Picasa, Google images, photos from friends, or images from the user's own computer to mix with music and effects for vibrant slideshow/videos. Picture sequence may be rearranged via drag and drop.

Web app look and feel to use?
The first step is to upload images from Facebook, Google images, Flickr, Instagram, Picasa, or the user's computer. Numerous images may be uploaded, with a maximum of 90 at 10MB each. Connection to each photo program must be established to import photos.

Next, the user may choose music to add to the free slideshow. They may use some of the songs provided by category (popular, movies & tv, all time classics, classical, beautiful, or thanks), upload music from the user's computer, or search Youtube or Soundcloud for songs.

Next, the user may add effects as they preview the slideshow. The music video for the chosen song shows in the bottom right corner of the player. Effects include spots - colored dots floating at the bottom of the screen, orange glow - which adds an orange light glow effect, colors - colored dots float across the images, dots - nearly the same as colors, dust - tiny white spots fall like snow across the screen, birthday - balloons and confetti float across images, seventies - a spotted "frame" around the images, or old film - dark around the edges with black flecks. Users may also choose the speed of the image changes. The user may also choose tags and a category for their new "video".

Once saved, the "video" can be edited at any time. After saving, the user may share via Facebook, Twitter, G+, Pinterest, or Tumblr. Shared content appears as a link that opens a window to the slideshow for viewing.

The app is certainly easy to use and offers easy sharing options that anyone can use. Uploads were fast and simple. It would be nice to have more effects and potentially the ability to add short video clips to the slideshow maker to differentiate it more from other traditional slideshow applications.

Who would you recommend the application to?
Anyone who wishes to make an easy to share Free Online Slideshows may enjoy using Slide.ly. Despite their use of the word "video" on the home page, make no mistake - this is a slide show only. Music and visual effects are offered, but this application has no video capability.
