SlideShowPro is exactly that “The” Slide Show Pro
It is intended as a dynamic flash application for displaying photos and videos, on any website.

I have used the heck out of this application. It can be very simple yet completely robust. I have used this product since May of 2007 and have not found another to take its place. I use it on all my sites- somehow or another, in fact this last year I have built a shopping cart to go with it for my flash photography website clients. I use it for flash headers, image portfolio’s, video viewing and for a client proofing area.
It is completely customizable, very flexible and extremely elegant. It comes in three versions:
1) A component used with Adobe Flash.
2) A web engine for Adobe Lightroom.
3) A self-contained standalone form.
Compare each here.
View examples here.
Their support forum and video tutorials are great for the DIY group

On top of that if comes with additional products:
1)SlideShowPro Director; for server side application for uploading and managing your content.
2)SlideShowPro ThumbGrid; for customizable thumbnail navigation.

I am not familiar with the standalone or the Adobe Lightroom versions, but I am quite familiar with the Adobe Flash component. I am also not yet familiar with the ThumbGrid addition. I do use the Director and highly suggest it to any who are looking into SlideShowPro.

This is why I love SlideShowPro: You create the flash file upload it once and never have to open the flash file again. It reads and displays the images and other text dynamically via XML. And if you use SlideShowPro Director like I do you upload any new images, add any variety of titles, tags, captions, hyperlinks, arrange images in albums and then add albums to galleries, add music for your albums, all sorts of cool stuff and abracadabra it all displays dynamically on your website.

Plus if you have Adobe Lightroom and you use SlideShowPro Director, there is a Lightroom plugin that allows for direct export of your images from Lightroom to your Director account which helps with speeding up your workflow.

Ok now for my own plug: If you love what you see from the SlideShowPro website and want to add this elegant robust application to your website but think that you can’t quite do it yourself? I would be glad to help you out. Just request a quote and mention this post or slideshowpro and I would be happy to give you a smoking deal.

   Hey I’m interested in seeing the cart that you built, but can’t seem to access the website you listed. Have you moved it?

   Thanks
