Software for creating very impressive product presentation?

    Hello,

    some time ago I have seen an impressive product presentation video with the following properties:
    + content: bullet points and pictures (typical for a powerpoint presentation)
    + very impressive transition effects
    + music syncronized with effects
    + animated backgrounds
    + great designs

    The presentation looked like an expensive production, but because of cheap picture materials and watermarked stock photos, I presume that it was created by some software in an automatic process. Unfortunatelly I could not find the video I saw, but I hope the description is enough.

    What software can produce such a presentation?

    adobe flash can provide quality presentations and is fairly easy to use. and it is somewhat automatic. it is not free product though.
    swishmax can do the same, and is free. but it is more complicated to work with.
    then there's microsoft silverlight which i hear does animations as well. dont know if its free or easy to use.
    regards

    Flash, or (get ready for it), ... Director.

    OR, something people fail to consider - a movie file.
    If it doesn't have to be interactive, then a movie can work very well, and will play on nearly anything, including older hardware.
    Very good for real estate stuff, product demos etc, that will be cycling though in a show room or display window.

    @Kerosene - a .FLV is already a movie file :p Also a pure movie would cost more since AE is more labor intensive then Flash IMHO . I would just make in in Flash and convert it to .AVI .

    For a simple slideshow with titles, bullet points etc... something like Vegas could be used, built in transitions, drag and drop audio. Just about anyone could do it, without needing to know AE/Flash etc.
    Depends on what it's for I guess.
    Sounds like Multiplexor wants to do it himself. Windows movie maker could even be a possibility.

    I am searching for a software for creating impressive presentation in an automatic process. I am thinking about services like Animoto.
    I know about Flash and other video composing software. But this is definetely not a solution for this, because it does not produce an automatic presentation like described.

    The best for interactive presentations is Flash . That is not true in my oppinion Swishmax is more complicated to work with . I saw people oppinions that Flash is very hard comparing it with SwishMax.

    Sorry, but In my opinion Flash it terrible for presentations, you might as well be using PowerPoint. I guess Its my opinion after working with Premiere and Encore. I only use flash for web app's and ad's.
