It is incredibly simple to use, music choices galore, great image quality, beat sync, etc. My clients love them\!\!\!\!\!\! > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything I don't like because it looks like they were thinking about what photographers really need. > > Time, time and time\!\! ----- ### "The easiest way to blow your clients away" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 September 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how simple and quick it was to get a slideshow up and running\! The price was a huge selling point too. Nothing else out there can compete with what this does. > > **Cons**: Some of the templates don't fit my style right out of the box. With that said, It's incredibly easy to make them work > > Love it\! Had animoto for a while but I like this much better as a platform. My client love it\! ----- ### "Neat Idea but Lacks Functionality" — 3.0/5 > **Kimberly** | *4 October 2019* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I purchased because I loved the idea of beat matching slideshows. > > **Cons**: Limited music, functionality, and locked in contracts. > > I was initially making these for brides but am switching as there are only a few songs worth using. ----- ### "Game Changer" — 5.0/5 > **heather** | *28 June 2019* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is super easy to use and you can make a slide show in minutes that is also rendered and ready for sharing in minutes...You can easily edit it too once it has been sent out which is great. Sharing a wedding story via a slide show is the perfect way to present photographs in a curated and thoughtful sequence.. Wedding photography is so much more than just photography these days ...it's capturing the story and every little detail of their day and as a photographer I want to invoke all the feelings and emotions in my images and for my clients to see the full story of their day, even , shoot etc. So, by delivering a slide show you are guiding your client to look at the photographs in the order you have curated them into ..thus ensuring they experience what you have created > > **Cons**: That you cannot edit on mobile or tablets and I would also like to have more control over changing the pace of the transitions for different sections of each song even. (it does do beat matching) > > I can deliver a slide show in minutes, whereas publishing an entire gallery can take several hours. This means when I have promised to deliver the wedding I can easily do so without relying so much on my computer power and smart slides does not tie up Lightroom ..so I can continue to work on other projects ----- ### "It just works, and I love it." — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *27 June 2019* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The amount of hours it has saved me compared to other similar software is a huge bonus. A slideshow is the final stage in a long edit, and while it is one of the most important parts of delivering photographs, once you get around to it you are exhausted. SmartSlides has turned this part of the process into something effortless. I can find the music I need, make a few easy edits if I choose to re-arrange or delete/add images, and publish the slideshow in very little time. It's integration with my gallery system (Pic-Time) has been a total game-changer as well. SmartSlides generates a link which Pic-Time recognizes, and a simple copy+paste later, my gallery has a gorgeous slideshow for my clients to start their journey through hundreds of photos with. Years ago, this process took me 3 hours. I'd be hard-pressed to take longer then 30 minutes. > > **Cons**: Any cons I had about the software has all been updated over the years. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/188072/smartslides?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/188072/smartslides) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
