SlideDog

SlideDog is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you build presentations by combining multiple media files and documents in a clean and intuitive working environment.

The uploading process of files into the workspace can be carried out using the built-in browse function or “drag and drop” operations. You can insert URLs and YouTube clips.

SlideDog offers support for the following file formats: GIF, JPG, PNG, PDF, PPT, PPTX, PPS, 3GP, AVI, DV, FLV, MKV, MP4, MOV, MOD, MPEG, and others. Plus, you can embed Prezi presentations in your project as well.

What’s more, you are allowed to add a background image, choose between a dual or single screen mode, create playlists for all your presentation file and media items, which can be saved to SDPL file format, and arrange the items in the desired order.

The program gives you the possibility to automatically switch to the next slider from the presentation at a user-defined time, activate the loop function, as well as apply fading effects when switching to a new file and specify the fading duration.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to fit images to the screen, and open web pages in a full screen mode and enable the Incognito mode for Google Chrome.

The utility is able to automatically display the slide, page, or position of a file where your left off, and offers support for a dual screen with a separate presentation screen that includes your playlist, a timer, and notes.

During our testing we have noticed that SlideDog carries out a task quickly and without errors. It is not quite friendly with system resources, so the overall performance of the computer may be affected.

SlideDog provides a decent feature pack for helping you build presentations using a wide range of file formats. The ace-up-its sleeve is the intuitive layout, which makes it an ideal presentation tool for beginners and professionals alike.
