If you decide it is worth the investment, and don't mind a subscription plan, you can get it for 9.99 (USD) a month.
#Proshow gold help forum trial#
You can download a free trial and see if it accepts your older shows. It's a completely new program, built from the ground up, with some backward compatibility with Proshow. You can import old Proshow projects into Photopia, but not the reverse. Some of the developers got together when it was determined that Photodex was closing it's doors, and decided to come up with a new program incorporating many things they were not able to develop for Proshow. While Photopia is on it's way to be a very nice replacement to Proshow, it is not the same company as Photodex. And you will not be able to download it again after everything shuts down at the end of January. Problem with that is you only have to the end of the month, and then all support will cease.
The only other thing I am aware of is to buy the recent version. You do not need to be using Photopia to sign up there. He is also available on the Photopia Forum. I think Joshua is going to be checking til the end of the month, so you might want to send him an email explaining the problems. If you did get the right versions downloaded, and they no longer work, you only have to the end of the month to ask for help.
#Proshow gold help forum how to#
I could, however, not have that correct.)ĭid you download the versions you have a license for? If not, do you know how to get the download links for older versions?
You just can't make NEW shows after December 2019. (any existing shows can still use the music. As of December 31st, it is my understanding that Proshow will also no longer have a valid license to use them either. Since it is a different company, they no longer have rights to use the Music Library that was included with Proshow. I have chosen to subscribe in order to help promote it's future development.Ĭurrently available for Windows, will also be available for Mac. You can also pause your subscription if you find you don't need to use the program for a period of time.) I am very happy with the new program and it's improvements on Proshow's abilities. (Just pay the price difference for however long you do so. (with a discount if you purchase for a year in advance.) You can use Creator and switch to Director and back again, as your needs evolve. The cost is 9.95$ a month for Creator and 24.95$ a month for Director. You will have to review and make some adjustments, when you import, timings/positioning of slides/cropping, etc., but I was VERY happy with the results I was able to get simply importing my old shows. Jennifer of Choice Slides is providing free (as well as purchasable) tutorials and is willing to help anyone with any questions that come up. It will convert all of these to be able to work in Photopia. It does allow you to import ALL former Proshow effects, slide styles, transitions, templates and existing shows.
#Proshow gold help forum software#
You can then ask questions and follow along as the software continues to develop. One can also join the forum without owning the software. Again this is NOT the same company, but a completely new one that includes some of the folks who developed Proshow. And former Proshow users get a little bit of a discount for their first year or three month subscription.
Free trials of both versions are available. If you don't like the subscription model that a lot of software is moving to, then you can still use the old Proshow, (at least, as you mention, as long as new OS updates don't break it) or one of the less featured alternatives. It includes abilities to create slide styles and transitions from scratch. I am currently using the Creator version (most similar to what Proshow Producer was) but will be moving up to the Director version later next year. It is the next generation of what Proshow would have become if Photodex did not shut down. There are two versions, both available by subscription. Not the same company, but some of the same developers have gone on to start Photopia. The program is still available for registered owners, but it will no longer be developed or supported. Was a member of the Beta group for years. Photodex has indeed gone out of business.
