Meh.Too damn much motion, cropping, etc. You are supposed to give your viewers vertigo.Less is more. Words to live by when doing slideshows like this.

<a class="user" href="http://www.yesterdayslife.com/photofront/">http://www.yesterdayslife.com/photofront/</a>inbed in your website for 10 bucks (or just make one for free with the website url). It was worth it for me so I paid it to run on mine (<a class="user" href="http://www.sthig.com/index1.html">http://www.sthig.com/index1.html</a>

How much?This looks great, but i really hate sites that make me give them my information and create an account before they tell me how much the thing is going to cost.

canuckistanian: right now the site is free, which basically means we're still figuring out how to get paid :-). the current theory is that you will always have some number of movies and views (bandwidth) for free. there will probably be a pro account, similar to Flickr and others. we may also charge for high quality video versions (mpeg2, good ipod) and for burning DVD's for people who don't want to do that themselves.any feedback on what you would and would not be willing to pay for is always welcome :-)sorry for not being more up front on the site. still early days.

I think it's pretty damn slick. I totally dig the automation effect they are going for. I had a video from photos, with background music created within 5 minutes of being on the site. The first time I loaded up Pro Show Gold or some of the others in the past, it damn sure wasn't that easy. To think this will only improve makes me think you guys are onto something. Nice work.

Cool. I like that concept.I'd love having a full-featured but bandwidth limited version of this for free. I would be willing to pay for high quality video versions, definitely.I'd also like to be able to download an .iso to burn, rather than having to go through the gymnastics of finding a good DVD authoring program and setting up menus etc and burning a movie to DVD. A pre-setup .iso with menu and all that prepared would be great value-add without much extra effort on your part, I imagine.
