Is this compatible with Ubuntu 20.04?

I had version 3.49 of this from a previous giveaway and installed the 4.04 installer from their website and it picked up the PRO license from the 3.49 giveaway so do not be surprised if you install over the top of a previous giveaway and find you cannot apply the new license key.... it apparently does not need it :)

Still missing the settings to set the chosen output video containers settings like chroma sub sampling and bit rate or two pass or even choose what codec is used for the various video containers.. or choose the Audio codec and settings.
Chose 1366x768 AVI output no soundtrack and the AVI file reports a bitrate of 10Mbits per second in windows explorer with AVC/H.264 FFMPEG codec... Xmedia Recode reports it at 1032kbps. WEBM container uses VP8 codec and just over half the file size of the H.264 AVI version of the same slideshow MP4 and MOV both also use AVC/H264 with same bitrates as the AVI slideshow. Seeing as they use FFMPEG they could use VP9 and HEVC or any number of possible codecs and containers but they've settled for these two codecs and that's it.

Installed on W10. Make sure to continued with the update to ver 4.04 when prompted and use the serial number found in the text file to register. You may have to turn off your AV for the install to work. Once installed go to setting to setup your preferences and you also have the option to disable "Check for updaes automatically".

I was able to create a slideshow from about 40 files made up of jpgs and png files including background music with out any effort. I kept the size to 1600X900 and save it as an mp4 with a file size of 325Mgs.

I was quite surprised how well it worked, it's one of those handy and fun progams to have on your PC.
My thanks to the programmers for the lifetime license and also thanks GOTD. It's a keeper for me.

I've just finished "playing" with Ice Cream Slideshow Maker Pro v4.04 (immediately upgraded after install) for about an hour. My overall impression is that I think it's greatest strengths are probably it's greatest weaknesses. Let me explain. My "go-to" slideshow apps are PTE AV Studio 10 (current) and Photodex Producer v9 (previously) which are both relatively expensive to buy, ultra complex in their myriad of capabilities and have steep learning curves to use effectively and efficiently - these are the types of programs that professionals (not me) would use to create presentations that are sold for premium dollars.

Ice Cream Slideshow Maker Pro does NOT fit into that category. It DOES, however, present you with a means of EASILY, with practially NO learning curve, producing an attractive, attention getting, slideshow that you can be proud of, all done within a few minutes and output/uploaded easily to social media platforms, as webm files to place within HTML 5 code and as standalone MP4, MOV or AVI for your PC or "Smart" TV.

Here are some pluses and minuses:

- The ability to use audio files (MP3, WAV or WMA) LONGER than your show and then Fade it out at the end i.e. last slide) regardless of the audio length is a definite plus. Missing is the ability to "sync" your show (slide & transition times) to the music automatically. You're also limited to a single audio track with no varying volume control during playback. (Multiple audio tracks are used for voice overs, sound effects, etc., during playback)

- Another pls - The ability to add text to your tile and individual slides. The **BIG** negative here is that you can NOT change the font size or rotate the text. Also, the text positions are predefined to nine (9) locations on the slide, 3 left 3 center and 3 right, and cannot be changed or adjusted.

- A few more negatives: cannot add blank slides (for example to have just text - need to create a blank image externally then import into program), cannot add video clips, cannot scale, crop or adjust photos, no "zoom" in/out or rotate slide capability during display - only zoom in/out transitions, cannot rotate or "animate" slides, no keyframes plus many, many more options that are available in the more sophisticated programs like PTE or ProShow.

Regardless of the negatives, the bottom line here is, by virture **OF** the missing features, if you're looking for a simple, VERY easy to use slideshow maker that can produce some attractive and attention getting slideshows with VERY little effort, give it try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at your results.

We have had slideshow creators previously (Thundersoft Slideshow Factory for e.g.) that have allowed video clips to be added as well as photo's. Todays product homepage seems to suggest only static images accepted. Is this the case?

super

Adjusting the photo time or adjusting the audio offset, manually, is a pain when you're trying to find a mp3(s) to match the time of the slideshow. I have tried another program which did it automatically, but was too expensive to buy. Icecream slideshow would be perfect if it could do the adjusting automatically as well.

La clé est valable combien de temps, et les mises à jours sont elles inclus dans l'offre

Installed easily and immediately, prior to registering, informed me of an update to version 4.04. Downloaded and installed the update and then registered with code found in the README file. I added a folder of images from my motion-detecting camera and created a video file. I played with a few of the settings and created the video file successfully. All in all a keeper for me due to ease of use and acceptable results.

And to have the audio match the length of the video so that there's no pause

Nice app... but I can't figure out how to change 'My Slideshow' as shown in the preview window to something I want for a title. If that can't be changed, it's going to be deleted.

I tried just once and it works really fine.

Thanks a lot Icecream apps and GAOTD

Like IceCream Video Editor, this software is unable to adapt the interface to à 175% of Windows Screen setting. Setting on a 10" tablet with high-resolution.

The app is displayed outside the screen and if i try to force it on the display, everything is blended in a horrible interface !

I explain that to Icecream team for the video editor, and nothing change with new versions. Same problem here. Unusable !

No high resolution Ken Burns Effect = no go.

I forgot to add that this is when trying to install the program, NOT when trying to insert the Registration key.

Three times now I've tried downloading and installing Icecream Slideshow Maker Pro 4.03 and each time I'm greeted with the message:
