Make a Birthday Photo Slide Show with ProShow Gold

Make a memorable birthday slide show for a loved one! With ProShow Gold you can create personalized slide shows from start to finish. Output the final show to DVD, Blu-ray, Flash or upload it to YouTube for everyone to see online. Follow the simple steps below to get started.

  • Capturing Birthday Memories
    Be sure and snap plenty of photos during the birthday celebration. If your camera also shoots video, capture some funny moments to include in your slide show. Some important photo ops to keep in mind are:

    • A good shot of the cake before it's cut.
    • Everyone singing Happy Birthday.
    • Blowing out the candles.
    • Candid shots of friends and family.

  • Start Creating Your Birthday Slideshow
    ProShow Gold's simple interface allows you to easily drag and drop your photos, videos and music right into a slide show. Start by adding your content into the show. Include all the photos and videos you shot at the birthday celebration.

  • Create a Title Slide
    Give your slide show a Title Slide positioned as the first slide in your show. This slide will have a date, name of the celebration and anything extra you wish to include. ProShow Gold has a built-in captions feature that allows you to choose a custom font, color, size and you can even add text effects for fun.

  • Edit Your Video Clips
    ProShow Gold has a built-in video trimmer that allows you to crop the starting and ending positions of a video clip. For example, if you've captured a clip of friends and family singing happy birthday but recorded a little too long, the video can be easily trimmed to exclude anything extra you don't want to use.

  • Add Motion Effects to Photos
    Include some simple pans, zooms or rotations to the photos in your slideshow. ProShow Gold makes it easy to add motion to any still image. Motion effects make your slide shows more visually appealing and can keep your audience entertained.

  • Include Photo Borders and Slide Backgrounds
    Spruce-up your birthday slide show with fun photo borders and backgrounds. You can use your own content or check out our ProShow MediaSource titles, collections of photo borders, backgrounds, royalty-free audio and more that you can use in your slide shows.

  • Choose Your Output
    DVD is the best way to output your slide show if you plan on sharing it with the family. Gather everyone in the living room and present your finished slide show to the birthday boy or girl. ProShow Gold makes it easy to create a custom DVD menu and lets you burn multiple copies of your DVD to have as backups or to give to other family members.
