Success!
May 24, 2015

I made a slideshow, 20 minutes in length, for a graduation. It turned out exactly as I had hoped! The transitions are beautiful, lots of choices, you can add your own music. The themed templates were a little cheesy, in my opinion, so I did the collages from scratch. Love it!
The only complaint I have is the music transition…BUT I just received an email from Kizoa yesterday saying that they have improved that, so I assume it's all good now.
What happened with me was that the slides would sometimes be a tad longer or shorter each time I reviewed it, so sometimes one song would start to repeat and then abruptly start the next one. I had to merge all my music into one 20 minute-long "song" in Garage Band and add it as one. One song didn't automatically start after the next one. That was a problem. I assume that's what they fixed, but haven't checked.
All in all, it ended up just how I wanted! If you don't have this type of program in your computer already I would definitely recommend Kizoa. I did buy the premium membership for the project.

Yes, we did indeed introduce a new feature last week that tells you exactly where each song ends as well as how many times it has looped! This should help resolve the issues you had in the past. I also want to let you know that a new feature is in the works and will be available soon so that when you are playing your slideshow it remains synced properly without any differences regardless of how many times you play it. Let me know if the music features are working better for you :)

Love this program
May 23, 2015

I love everything about what I can do with this program and glad it allows me to not use my my comp memory by uploading all clips and photos to the site. Kizoa has more options for transitions and music then most programs I know. One thing that could be fixed is having the option of making slideshows in 16:9 video sizes so that I would not have to take extra steps to convert from standard 4:3 to 16:9 video sizes after I make the slide show. Can't wait for the app so I can do some more projects from my iPad

Over all very happy!

Hi Olga, thank you for your review! I'm surprised you're using another software to resize your slideshows. Even though your slideshows on Kizoa are in a 4:3 format, and T. V. in 16:9 should play it without a problem. You know, a little birdy told me that we will soon have the 16:9 format available... and even other formats... shhhh! ;)

Love this programme, can spend hours playing around on it.
Have made some very special Videos of my Grandson and are now working on one in the memory of my nephew who was killed at the age of 17. His mother wants me to show his short life so we can see all the memories of him.

Great program, I love the variety of options, I also have a much more expensive & complex program - alot of similar options, this one is easier to use with 2 exceptions -.

- Saving the shows is a bit of hassle, I don't like having to have it e-mailed to you.
- Would like to see the music selection enlarged, need some lite & lively music - without words to the music, some patriotic music & music for children. If I had my choice that is.:)

You do have a great program though and thank you for continuing to add new options like the timing of the music!

Would never recommend.

Difficulty in obtaining support and when I did finally reach someone they were in France which made it impossible to trouble shoot my issues. Such a waste of money. I tried requesting a refund and received no response.

I'm really sorry to hear about the troubles you've had. Please send me an email at [email protected] so I can find a solution for you for the problems you've had as well as issue you a refund. It's true we are based in Paris, France which is our main office. So when you reach me here in our Paris office I'm able to work hand in hand with our engineering team which is handy in getting any problem resolved much faster.

I spent weeks trying to make a slideshow. I also wanted to add music to go along with the slideshow. I listen to those 4 songs more than a 100 times. Trust me it was probably more. Anyway, each time I listen the music start on a different slide and would start playing over again. I would then spend hours downloading that slide show to YouTube to see if I could match the length of music and take note on what slide it was on. After numerous tries, I thought I had it just right. However, when it came time to present the slideshow to a roomful of Kindergarten students, their parents and guests, teachers and community leaders, my 19 minute slideshow turned into 30 minutes and it still was finished. The song looped so much that I heard one guest say, "If I hear that song one more time I'm going to puke". Honestly, I felt the same way. It played so long that my screensaver started up and now my audience was watching my personal pictures instead of the slideshow. I quickly unplugged the computer and my audience never saw the end of the slideshow. The Kindergarten ceremony was then much longer and the students more figgity because the program was now longer than I expected. I felt extremely embarrassed and most of all I let down my students and their guest. Boy! I miss OneTrueMedia.com. :(

Dear Yvonne, I'm very sorry for your experience! These kind of issues shouldn't occur anymore since last week we set in place a new feature that shows exactly where a song ends in a slideshow and it also shows how many times the song is looping in a slideshow. Please get in touch with me at [email protected] so I can find a solution for you and the troubles you experienced. We're also sad that onetruemedia was shut down as it certainly one of the best online video applications. We'll strive and do our best to become one of the best video applications.

Memorial presentation
May 22, 2015

I was very pleased to find a software package I could use to build a professional slide show with music for my brother's Memorial Service. It was time consuming, but rewarding. The pricing seemed high for a one-time use.

I'd been using web. Photodex for a few years to make quick slideshows for clients but it was a bit too automated for me. I wanted to customize more without paying an additional hefty fee since it already costs several hundred dollars a year. Kizoa is more flexible in several areas but it's difficult to precisely edit video segments, select and time music, control music volume over video clips, etc. I've used it less than 5 times so it was a real money waster to get the lifetime membership since I've gone back to editing on my computer.

We're sorry that you don't find our app satisfactory. It's true that our video sement editing could be more precise and we definitely do have plans to improve that before summer. Regarding music control, we will indeed improve that in the future, this may take a few months before it's done.

Graduation Video
May 22, 2015

My wife and I made a graduation video and used Kizoa. It was very easy to work and put it all together. No problem downloading to CD for replay on computer. Had an issue making the DVD work. I sent an email to Kizoa and promptly received a call from Kizoa and immediately walked me thru it. Could not ask for better service.

Not to be used in a crunch
May 22, 2015

Program is fun to work with, but when "exporting" the file it took a substantial amount of time. Additionally, one of the exports only exported the first few slides meaning I had to go through the process all over again. Lastly, in terms of service, the tech support was difficult to understand. Use this, but don't both paying for the extras, you will be better off paying for a real video editing program with that same amount of money.

Really easy to use and my slideshow came out great! Please add more stickers for sports (baseball). And add more stickers and borders in general. Love them as they are fun.

I wish in future versions, there is a way to move your photos around in bulk within your slideshow. Moving it 1 by 1 can be time consuming.

Great service and love it!

I wanted to show my estranged wife how I felt about her and our one year old child. She didn't believe that I loved her and our son.
I put together a timeline of photos and began arranging all the effects and chose some suitable background music. The process was logical and easy to follow. The result was so powerful it had me in tears because it unlocked my emotions that had been locked inside those photos. I sent "The Book of Love" to my estranged wife on Valentine's Day 2015 which was the second anniversary of the day we met. Later she told me how she cried inconsolably as she watched "The Book of Love". Her faith in me has been restored. Kizoa is truly an amazing program that can unleash the creative genius in anyone.
