Best Photo slideshow plugin?

I'm looking for a quicker way to produce a photo-slideshow movie. I've seen a couple of plugins that make pretty quick work of this by automatically adding pan & zoom effects to each image. There is one called StillMotion on the VASST website that looks pretty good. Does anyone have first-hand experience with this or other plugins that can accomplish the same thing?

Hi Jason, If you download the fully functional 15-day trial, you would be one of those people with first-hand experience. ;-)

Seriously, that’s why we have fully functional trials of all of our software. We believe you should be able to try before you buy.

I use Ultimate-S for this kind of stuff. It is just wonderful. I believe Still Motion is just the photo-montage part of Ultimate-S and would be the same. Either way, it saves an incredible amount of time!

Thanks for the replies. I'm using an older version of Vegas (4.0). I'll probably download both of these tonight and give them a test run...

thx,
Jason

Ouch! sorry, neither StillMotion nor Ultimate S work with Vegas 4. They are for Vegas 5 & 6.

I was afraid of that...

The older Neon can help automate this process in Vegas 4. It's not as powerful as the Vegas 5 and 6 versions of Ultimate S 2 or Excalibur 4 but can be a help.
