✨ FFDIAPORAMA ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the manual for ffDiaporama(1) 💖 (yeah that's the General Commands Manual section, we're fancy here). Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

💅 NAME 💅

FFDIAPORAMA — Movie creator 👑

no literally, that's the whole job. it makes movies. slay.

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

ffDiaporama [-lang=] [-loglevel=] [Filename]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. three little slots, infinite main character energy ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So ffDiaporama is an application for assembling photos and videos — and honestly? it was made especially for preserving holiday memories 🏖️. It's inspired by presentation software like Impress or Powerpoint, so if you've ever fought with a slide deck, you already get the vibe.

The way it reads nearly all image formats?? obsessed. It also handles a majority of cameras and camcorder video formats, plus the most commonly used music formats. It ships with 140 transitions and a device database for generating videos with more than 50 models of video viewing devices — and yes bestie, that includes smartphones, tablets, and home cinema systems 🫶

And the scale?? It can manage several hundreds of slides. Every slide can contain several tens of shots and several tens of blocks. Every shot contains its own block settings. And the application calculates all the shot transformations for you, so you don't have to 😭

not me being emotional about software that does my math for me. it's giving supportive.
