Pick a few objects (a cat, a car, a cup, anything), give each a folder of images or let the app download them, and the app fills the screen with rows of those images moving in any of 8 directions. Each object can get its own camera effects, so the pictures look like a real camera filmed them:
- zoom and pan, rotation, perspective, camera shake
- motion blur, defocus, lens distortion, low resolution, compression
- color and exposure, noise, flicker, glare, fog / rain / dirt, partial view, patches covering the image
- Testing vision systems: show a camera or a model many images of an object, moving and degraded in controlled ways, for as long as needed. Record the show as a video to repeat a test.
- A moving photo wall: your own photos scrolling on a second screen, a TV or a display.
- Something nice to look at: a screensaver mode is planned.
- Smooth: up to 60 fps; effects run in their own process.
- Light: pauses when its window is hidden; memory stays flat in long runs.
- Display modes: one object at a time, a random mix, or one object per row / column.
- Export video (H.264) and Capture (a PNG of what is on screen).
- Editor mode: click images on the screen to delete them or edit them in Paint.
- Presets, a speed schedule, transitions, flip / mirror / rotate, fullscreen on the monitor you choose.
- Image downloads from DuckDuckGo and Bing, with duplicates skipped. No account or key needed.
- Updates itself (Help > Check for updates > Update now), keeping your images and settings.
Watch: changing settings while the show runs (YouTube, 14 min, real time): every change shows in the slideshow at once.
See what 2.0 does better than 1.x (frame rate, CPU, memory, preparing images, downloads).
- Download one of the two zips from the latest release:
..._folder.zip: starts faster, flagged less often by antivirus programs (recommended)....zip: a single exe, simple to move around
- Unzip it anywhere you can write to (not Program Files) and start
Objects Slideshow.exe.
Windows may say "Windows protected your PC" for a new app: click More info > Run anyway. The app is portable: settings, images, presets, videos and pictures stay in its folder.
