Pros How straight forward it is to use and how effective it is for clients to see their images to music for the first time. Cons I struggle mostly with the music selection on the software Review Source VRP Venkata Rajesh P. Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Make slideshows real fast" August 2, 2019 5.0 It's a fast and intuitive software to design slideshows. You can make one in less than 10 minutes. In our case, limited music options works for us as we prefer speed (making minimal choices). Our clients love these when they receive it. For prospective clients, the slideshows make a huge impact. Pros Fast and intuitive software Beat matching Cons Music license of some songs in the collection expired and they were replaced with new ones. Alternatives considered [Animoto](https://www.capterra.com/p/158773/Animoto/) Reason for choosing SmartSlides Simple, easy to use and minimalistic. Animoto had way too many options and it was confusing. Also it was pricey. Review Source AK Ashley K. Photographer Photography Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Business Growth 101" July 15, 2019 5.0 Pros My favorite thing about SmartSlides is that it allows me to showcase my work the way I want it to be seen and is an exciting way to introduce the story to our couples. Beyond that, it gets passed around and shared very quickly, which has been one of the absolute best marketing techniques we've been able to add into our workflow. Cons That some of my favorite songs are disappearing, though I understand that is entirely out of Pixellu's control and know they'll be adding more to hopefully become new favorites.

March 7, 2023 5.0 Faço Slides para encantar meus clientes e possíveis clientes após a entrega das fotos.
