PhotoShow Developer Tools

Your users deserve more than just slideshows, and so do you.

With Roxio PhotoShow Developer Tools, your site can offer the full power of PhotoShow: rich, personalized, multimedia experiences that show off users’ photo memories with broadcast-quality credits, captions, transitions, special effects, clip art, and compelling musical soundtracks.

These PhotoShow Developer Tools are available now:

• PhotoShow Authoring Widget: Let your users create custom PhotoShows, using their photos, without leaving your site. PhotoShows they make can easily be displayed on your site. Plus, users can embed their shows (with your logo!) into sites like MySpace or Facebook, driving viral traffic back to you. They can even order DVDs or broadcast their shows to cable TV.
• Instashow: Create dynamic PhotoShows for your users, automatically, from any album or RSS photo feed you supply. Our unique One Click Styles make the photos look great. Instashow integrates with the Authoring Widget, so users can add their own customizations if they choose.

Integration is quick and painless. There’s no code to install on your servers, no special platform requirements, and we’ll even handle the picture upload and storage. You can get a basic integration running in a half hour or less.

• Try it out: make your own PhotoShow using our demo, or see our unique One Click Styles

• Or dive right in below — it’s fast, easy, and free!

Getting Started

Integrating PhotoShow is easy: just add some HTML to your web pages. There’s no code to add to your server. PhotoShow Developer Tools are compatible with nearly any web site; they simply require JavaScript and Flash in the user’s browser.

To get started:

1. Review the integration overview to pick an integration scenario that sounds like your site.
2. Register your application (and, uh, yourself) to get a PhotoShow developer key.
3. Get the HTML code to add the authoring widget or instashow to your site.
