Whether you're selling a used bike on Craigslist or selling your
house, it's pretty obvious that photos of the product make all the
difference. But now that everyone's using photos to try to sell
everything from used CDs to real estate, if you want that
competitive edge, you need something with a little more impact that
just a static photograph. Enter the Flash-animated slideshow. It's
cross-platform, catchy, and (when done right) makes anything look
like a million bucks.
Those fancy Flash slideshows do take a bit of programming
skill...unless you use a tool like the Flash Photo Slideshow. What
Final Cut Pro did for home video editing, this can do for your
Flash animation skills. In a few minutes, with very little
instruction, you can create animated slideshows that look more
suited to a Ken Burns documentary than an eBay ad. Just set up a
path that you want your virtual "camera" to follow as it pans
around the image, fiddle with the background colors, and add a few
hotlinks to your high-res static photos, and you've got a dynamic
slideshow.
You don't even need to limit yourself to using the software for
selling stuff online--you can add music and mouse controls to a
vacation slideshow, post it on your blog, and skip boring your
relatives and neighbors for hours in the living room.
