You should check out ProShowGold at photodex.com. The software is intended for slideshows primarily. It works with videos too.
It is made by pros. You will find a plethora of slide show examples made with ProShowGold on the youtube. I recommend spending some time on their youtube channel to see what can be done with the software.
You can purchase dvds with extra transitions and other effects.
Most importantly the software is available for free as a trial version. I’ve had mine for more than a month now and it doesn’t shut down asking for money. You can use it for free but can’t finish your work without removing Proshowgold attribution.
I hope that will help you.
Good day and good luck.
