Is there a way to create a template from one of your slideshows in fotomagico so the next time all the images you insert into the slideshow have the same position, size and flow? That would make it a lot faster for new slideshows that we create if we want the same style for future slideshows.
This is not possible at the moment, but I’ll pass that on to the developers
@ fryedm:
Templates, very good suggestion! Could save a lot of time, once you developed your own style of slideshow. I fully support!
How about using xml for templates ? Both for saving an existing slideshow, and for creating a new one by authoring only some of the fields ?
This feature is on our to do list for the next major version of FotoMagico.
This is very important, Animoto are good but don’t offer HD on all their styles, Photodex is just too complicated and doesn’t allow you to save your creations as a template and sadly neither do you!!! I would have thought this would be a bare minimum…Hurry up
I see this post is from 2011 and you have had several versions since then. Did this template from another slideshow ever make it into any of the releases?
What you are asking for (i.e., “templates”) has been incorporate for some time and called “Snippets” – you can set up a single slide with multiple images, text, or whatever else you’d like to place on the slide and save it as a snippet, with each image in the snippet being used as a “placeholder.” You can then drag snippets into the time line, and then drag images for your projects into each placeholder. There is no “automatic” way to populate the snippets with images (that is, you can’t just drag in 100 images and expect them to all fall into place). You can also create a snippet that consists of multiple slides (as many as you want) and then re-use that snippet as needed. So an entire slide show can be set up. Again, you’ll drag your images into the snippet placeholders, and all of your pre-production work will be simplified.
