This software is based on gambas so it shoud work on every Linux or U*ix like system where gambas is available.

You need to install gambas runtime or gambas gambas development ide.
I think it shoould work on higher gambas versions.

I was tired to make poor quality slideshows in VCD/SVCD format and finally met dvd-slideshow: it is a very nice program that produces high quality DVD slideshows from jpeg images. It has crop, kenburn andpan effects.

I made some slideshows but reliazed that I wasted too much time to prepare the slideshow "source": I needed a visual program to speed up the process of kenburns, crop and pan effects creation.

I googled the net but didnt find any souch program so I decided to create one myself: slcreator was born!

How I did it? I built it using gambas: a visual ide with a object oriented basic interpreter which permits to create great programs in a "fast" way. I tried some other languages but I was not skilled enough to use them for this kind of project! gambas permitted me to realize the job in a very nice way!
