The first thing
I noticed about this program was how easy it was to add new slides. The best
part of its layout is that it was easy to visualize the slide order and
transitions as a whole. It was also easy to set the mood of the video with the
option to change the pace of transitions with one click under the “Theme”
option. That would be a useful tool in deciding whether or not I wanted my
video to have a sad or hopeful and upbeat tone. In addition to pace, it is easy
to time slides with a soundtrack to help set a mood because of the layout.
Stupeflix also
allows you to download your video with soundtrack as a single file and to share
that file. One feature that I hadn’t thought of before was the map feature. It
allows you to show a location on Google Maps as a slide. I considered using
something similar in my video to show how many local businesses there are in
Morgantown.
While Stupeflix
was simple to use, it was almost too simple. Slides were made from entering
text or uploading a picture. To create interesting or more personalized slides
you would have to design them within another program and upload them as a
picture. There weren't many transitions to choose from, either. I liked that they gave pre-made themes to help in making polished looking videos, but I
would prefer to make my own slides and transitions in PowerPoint.
