Screensaver maker?

Anyone have a favorite?

[Lvanhoff]

Does anyone have a good screensaver maker product recommendation? I've downloaded a number of them but none are perfect. I'd like one that lets me add titling. I'm on a MAC with Virtual PC but also have a PC I can use.

Thanks!

I have been using Axialis Pro Screensaver Producer for years and it works with Win & Mac.

Awesome, that's what I had settled on! Thanks!

When you say it works with Win and Mac you mean in Virtual PC? They don't have a Mac version I don't think, do they?

sorry about that....I just went back to their site to confirm and I made a mistake about Mac compat. Its still a great screensaver app though!

[Lvanhoff]

I'm so glad to know that...thanks. I've got it working in Virtual PC which could make it the both of both worlds.

Any suggestions for a good screensaver maker for Macs?

[Kevin French]

sorry Lvanhoff....I never touch the stuff :)

[Lvanhoff]

Ha, very good :-) Thanks.

Ok, how about good ways to sell screensavers? :-)

Have you found a good way to add fade in/out titling? Would I have to do this in Swish or Flash? In other words, I want to lay text over the photos and have it fade in and out...so maybe it has to be a flash file in total? I was looking for a screensaver program which gives titling capabilities but did not find one. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

My favourite tool for this is SWF Studio from Northcode. You make your Flash movie, and the Studio can turn it into a screen saver.

SWF studio is also a powerful tool for producing kiosk interfaces, CD-ROMs and multimedia applications. If you're a Flash developer, it's definitely worth checking out. It lets you do things with Actionscript that aren't possible with the stand-alone player.
