I'm utterly flummoxed. I got a 3 day head start on a school-wide slideshow (800 photos/35 minutes), and after two near-allnighters (and about 9 hours of failing), I have come to the conclusion that I will not be able to complete the project on Kizoa.
Simply put: Kizoa does not have the functionality required for a larger slideshow.
What's aggravating is that this is not mentioned anywhere on the price guide when a customer is considering purchasing Kizoa. In fact, they even offer videos of unlimited length with a paid account.
So, here I am--I have paid for the mid-level account, I spent hours just uploading my photos and music from Google Drive because Kizoa couldn't handle uploading more than 70 photos at a time.
And now I have come to the realization that with an 800 photo slideshow, if I want the slides in a certain order/rearranged, I will need to spend hours and hours and hours doing something that should occur with the simple click of a button.
Kizoa only allows users to shuffle one photo at a time, and the editing area is only six slides long. This means, that if I want to move the 500th picture to the beginning of the slideshow, I have to click the 500th photo, and then drag it slowly as my workspace agonizingly scrolls at a snail's pace to the beginning. 20-30 seconds later, you begin to sink into dread as you realize that it took you almost 30 seconds to move one photo, and you still have 799 to go.
I should have borrowed a laptop and just done this thing on basic PowerPoint.
Many regrets over using and paying for Kizoa for this project.
Hello NW, I am very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with Kizoa. When making your movie you can automatically add the entire album to your movie, the photos will be put into your movie in the same order in which they appear under the "My Images" tab of your account. I do understand that editing one photo at a time can be very time consuming and frustrating, so please contact us via private message or directly at customer support so that we can guide you through some other, quicker ways to get your movie the way you want it. I would also like to speak with you so that I can have a better idea of the improvements you would like to see on the site in order to speak with our technical team about potentially implementing some changes.
