cuePics 1.1.1

cuePics is slide-show software that allows you to create a still-image movie with pictures, transitions and synchronised sounds.
The still-image movie or slide-show may be played back full screen or exported as a QuickTime or AVI movie, making it very easy to display and share your work.
cuePics supports all major picture and sound file formats. cuePics can import pictures from your digital camera, scanner, favourite photo-editing software or any other source.
Sounds may be imported that you have recorded elsewhere, created in sound editing software, downloaded from the internet or converted from a music CD.
