My friend and I have grabbed the PhotoToFilm, downloaded fine until you pop in the Serial number, "invalid license data". So forget this one.

This seems like a software developed back in 1990's. A primitive interface, not intuitive as they claim it to be, and most importantly, the output quality is awful (if you're so lucky to get a working one at all). Don't waste your precious time, let alone money, just avoid this one.

I got the invalid serial number also, then I retyped GiveawayoftheDay and repasted the serial number in, and WhaLah. It Worked.

IMO: Output quality is pretty bad. Grainy. Not sure if that is the property of the codec or what. Uninstalling.

This appears to be the FREE version offered on the PhotoToFilm website. You can get this anytime. The Premium version has no nag screen, but still not worth buying.

AFPhantom2,
Yup, if you read the comparison on their website, the Free version offer all the same functionality as the "Full" version. The only thing the "Full" version gets you is "Premium" Tech Support and no nag screen.

AFPhantom2, correct, KC sold and free versions invariably are the same product with nag screen removed but no extra functions if you don't consider self updating a feature.

Invalid licence data.... Ser# is bogus

CK, I think Kyle server has problems... I have an old version of this from an earlier giveaway and it too throws up an Invalid License alert box even though that license was supposed to be lifetime too. It lets me re-input the original license data and accepts it then offers a potential update which I decline and then up pops an Invalid License alert box which on dismissing it promptly shuts itself down. Next launch then provides a countdown on the OK button and an input license button and Buy PhotoToFilm button. After countdown expires one can then press OK and use the free edition.

Add the capability to automatically, by selecting a box for all photos in a stream, the file name of each slide. This would be a tremendous aid in sorting photos!

Downloaded, installed, pasted serial # and tried to register. Got "invalid license data". What gives?

Walter C Powis Sr, Confirm you are using Name: GiveawayoftheDay instead of something else and no additional spaces if you copy/paste Serial number. That worked for me.

Licensed to GiveAwayOfTheDay...
But unable to propose anything else than very old codecs with 720x 576.
No MPEG-4 or MPEG-5 available on this old windows 7 designed software.
These codecs and many others are on my PC...
So don't waste you time with this product.

Spontz, It is NOT windows 7 designed software! It's Windows NT/Windows 98 designed software limited by Video For Windows codecs.

So many 'little things' make this a program hastily written, but not used by the developers. You can't resize the main form, if you click 'new' after adding some photos it just creates a new project (so if you click it by accident, you've lost hours of work), despite registering it it still has 'Buy!' buttons everywhere, click 'Reset' and again it wipes everything without confirmation, it doesn't support PNG files, the highest resolution is 720x576, regardless of what your current screen resolution is or what the source file resolutions are. And this is v3.9 ? What was v1.0 like?!
I'd recommend getting Handbrake, which converts film files to h264 format - much better compression.

Chris Locke, does Handbrake now create slidshow videos from individual images? I thought it was an open source GUI for FFMPEG!
I would suggest VSDC FREE Video Editor since one of its features is a slideshow video producer as well as supporting more modern codecs and video container files as well as upto 4K resolution.

"does Handbrake now create slidshow videos from individual images?"
No, but it can compress the video generated by this software from 800 GB down to a more transportable size. Handbrake does the job far better than the codecs offered by this software, which are on your OS. That was the point I was making...

Chris, any old FFMPEG based converter can do that but they cannot make the slideshows so are no replacement for this... You can get simlar compression rates using the xvid VFW codec if you have it installed with this program. But that does not resolve the obsolete dimensions of slideshows this produces. In addition recompressing using a newer lossy codec an already lossily compressed low definition video slideshow is not really a good idea. I did try to use huffyuv lossless codec in this program but for some reason it always threw an error so the use of VFW API by this program is obviously non-compliant.
Better to use a different FREE slideshow maker that can produce relevent modern SD/HD/UHD resolution video slideshows with modern codecs
