We’ve gathered a bunch of interesting information about MAGIX Photostory and we’re going to share them with you. From setup facts to program features and configuration details, it’s all here in the following section.

How to install MAGIX Photostory Deluxe

If you’re familiar with MAGIX products, you’ve probably met their famous download manager before. It can be quite confusing to new users as to why does a 5 MB tool takes this long to install.

Once you download the executable (which is, in fact, the download manager), you must launch it and follow its instructions. The whole setup process is intuitive enough and should raise you absolutely no trouble.

However, you might want to find some other activity during the download + installation part, as it can take a while. Remember that the tool needs 2GB for installation, so you can expect a rather large download.

Create slideshows with MAGIX Photostory Deluxe

As stated before, you can use MAGIX Photostory to create stunning slideshows without breaking a sweat. However, there’s many other things that this tool can do. For instance, you can perform adjustments on the photos you want to include in your slideshows.

MAGIX Photostory also has a handy component called “shot match tool,” which automatically makes all your photos look like one another (in terms of color and light parameters, of course). Think about it as a global filter, applied to all of your images simultaneously, so they can match.

MAGIX Photostory Deluxe video editor

Did we mention you can use videos in your slideshows as well? Well, you can! It’s possible to cut video clips according to your needs and perform some light editing on them, too. This tool enables you to interpose transitions between different images, between an image and a video, or even between videos.

If you’re already coming to an end with the visual part of your slideshow, you can consider working on the audio. We can all agree that a silent slideshow can feel a bit out of place, like something’s missing. Fortunately, MAGIX Photostory allows you to include audio tracks and even perform basic editing on them.

For instance, you can stretch or compress the slideshow, so that it starts and finishes at just the right time. That way, you won’t have music playing long after the slideshow’s done.

MAGIX Travel Maps included

If you chose MAGIX Photostory Travel Edition, you’re in for a surprise. There’s a cool feature bundled within this version called MAGIX Travel Maps, which lets you pinpoint your holiday route on a virtual map.

This nifty tool can help you create an animated travel clip from your slideshow, which shows the exact route of your trip. Additionally, you can customize the content displayed by this feature, such as locations and transport modes.
