UltraSlideshow Lite

UltraSlideshow Lite is a straightforward software program that you can use to easily put together Flash slideshows with photos and music. It contains only some basic options that are intuitive enough to be figured out even by inexperienced users.

Simple setup and wizard-like interface

Setting up this tool is a speedy and uncomplicated task. As far as the interface is concerned, UltraSlideshow Lite opts for a common window with a well-structured layout, where you can start your project by adding as many photo files as you want, provided that they have the .jpeg format.

Add photos and music

Likewise, a sound track can be created by loading a .wav-formatted file. Before proceeding with the slideshow building process, you can edit photo properties when it comes to the title, URL, width, height, duration of each transition and photo, URL target, along with description. These settings can be applied either to the entire photo or the entire slideshow.
What's more, you can select your preferred transition by browsing a list with 20 available options, preview effects, and change parameters regarding the SWF movie scale and angle mode, autoplay, continuum, image background color and alpha, scale style, and others.

Evaluation and conclusion

The tool didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the computer in our tests, since it required low CPU and RAM to work properly. It had a good response time time and took little time to build SWF slideshows.
However, it prompted an error on several occasions while we were tinkering with settings, after which it immediately crashed. We must also take into account the fact that UltraSlideshow Lite hasn't been updated for a long time, and it likely has compatibility issues with later Windows editions.
