Quick setup

From your media libraries to an editable timeline.

SlideShow Bob combines your selected photos and music, calculates the timing, and exports Final Cut Pro XML or EDL for a compatible video editor.

Five-part workflow

Set up once, then create new combinations quickly.

SlideShow Bob works with copies of file information in its own libraries. Your original image and audio files remain unchanged.

Install and review Settings

Unzip the installer and run setup. In the Settings tab, choose working folders and defaults such as fonts, colors, transitions, unique-song behavior, and image duration.

Create an image library

Open Image Management, choose Add New Database, select a folder, and start the scan. You can maintain multiple libraries for different collections or projects.

Scan and choose audio

Open Audio Management to scan your music collection. Select songs yourself, filter by genre, or let SlideShow Bob make a random choice.

Choose images and set the video length

Select the image database and set you want to use, choose the intended video length, and review the manual or random-generation options before creating the timeline.

Generate, continue, and finish in your editor

Generate a single-song slideshow or continue with another song for a longer project. Export Final Cut Pro XML or EDL, then open the result in DaVinci Resolve or another compatible editor.
