Slide Show Magic by PVII
"Slide Show Magic is the best product I've found so far for adding a slide show that the visitor can easily control. It's simple to use for both the web designer and the site visitor," - John Tucker (Photographer)
"I love this, and my clients will, too. It has a slick, modern look and is extremely
easy to use in a wide variety of designs."
- Joe Makowiec (Beta Tester)

Slide Show Magic gives Windows and OS X users unprecedented power, ease, and automation in a slick new tool for Dreamweaver MX, Dreamweaver MX2004, Dreamweaver 8, CS3, and beyond.
Leaps beyond the ordinary...
Efficient code and buttery smooth animations make for a truly engaging user experience without the common liabilities inherent in many slide show applications. Slide Shows and individual images can be bookmarked and all images are accessible — even when JavaScript is disabled.
Search Engine Friendly
Unlike many of today's Flash and AJAX applications, Slide Show Magic markup is always fully visible and indexable by leading search engines.
Auto-Choreographed Animation
Slide Show Magic detects the size of each incoming full-size image. If it's the same size as the current image, the system will employ a smooth cross-fader - simultaneously fading out the current image as the new one fades in. If the incoming image is a different size than the current one, the system will fade out the current image, glide the image container to the size of the incoming image, then fade the new image in. It's all automatic.
Staged preloader
When the slide show is running in automatic mode, the system will preload the next image as the current one is being shown, providing a seamless experience in most cases.
Intuitive toolbar controls
The on-page toolbar contains conventional media controls: First, Previous, Play, Pause, Next, and Last buttons. It also contains a slider bar that allows users to adjust the slide show timing, plus buttons to toggle visibility of the thumbnail display and navigation menu, and an image counter.
Drag-enabled thumbnail panel
The Thumbnail panel can be dragged about the screen, enabling users to fine-tune the interface for best viewing of the show.
Full-Size images can be hyperlinks
Each full-size image can optionally be set as a hyperlink to another page, programmed to open in a new window or tab.
Image descriptions
Each full-size image can display an optional description, which can contain any type of valid markup (paragraphs, tables, DIVs, lists, links, or images).
Automated image processing with Fireworks...
Web-ready images are automatically produced from your original images, which can be located on any drive connected to your computer - including drives mounted by your digital camera. Slide Show Magic handles all image processing automatically — preserving your original files in their original locations in their original and unaltered states. Your images are scaled, optimized, and neatly organized into folders within your defined site.
Import your existing images...
Point to a folder (or folders) that contain your existing full-size and thumbnail image and Slide Show Magic will match them up and add them to your slide show - unaltered and ready to view.
Organize Images into sets
Slide Show Magic enables you to define logical image sets and organizes the thumbnail panel into navigable sets.
Mix landscape and portrait orientations
Your images are never distorted in any way. Original aspect ratios are always preserved. Use both landscape and portrait images in the same slide show.
Deploy alone or inside existing layouts
Slide Show Magic can be inserted on a page by itself or inside an existing page.
Select from 6 Themes
Select a dark toolbar, a light toolbar, shadow boxes (in 3 sizes), or an image rotator interface. Style themes can even be switched for existing slide shows.
Manage it all inside a dedicated Dreamweaver Interface
- Add (append) new images
