What it is

FotoMagico is a real-time slideshow editor for photographers that plays slideshows at full resolution without rendering time. It combines photos, videos, maps, text, audio, and snippets. Animation Assistant applies styles that make a slideshow move, while Map Assistant animates travel routes. The image browser accesses Apple Photos, local storage, iCloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox, and projects can synchronize between iPad and Mac through iCloud Drive. Sharing Assistant supports direct uploads to YouTube and Vimeo, along with standalone-player and ProRes exports. Slides can also be controlled with PowerPoint-compatible presentation remote clickers. The full feature set is available during a 14-day trial; afterward, the app remains a free slideshow player, with editing disabled without a valid licence. FotoMagico is available for macOS and iPadOS, not Windows. The Mac version requires an Apple Silicon or 64-bit Intel Mac running OS X Catalina 10.15.2 or newer. The monthly subscription costs $7.99 a month, and the annual subscription costs $79.99 a year.
