This is my school project, in which I had to chose the best alternative for given programs. I hope that my presentation is clear and visible :)

1. Alternative user
applications

School Year: 2012
MYP level V

2. Programs I am going to
compare
 Windows Media Player – Winamp, Foobar2000, RealPlayer
 Windows Movie Maker –MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 12, Sony Vegas
 Paint – Gimp, Photofiltre, Adobe Photoshop
 Word – Writer, Publisher, Notepad
 PowerPoint – Prezi, Sliderocket, 280 Slides
 Excel - Open Office Calc, Quattro Pro

7. Foobar 2000 REALPLAYER WINAMP
Very good during creating Operates CD recording Does not operate flv
playlists movies
Window with playlists is Can transfer music videos Open very long
little and contains all songs and songs to MP3 Player
which are on our computer and iPod. Let listening
songs from youtube without
need of downloading them
We can create our own Connection with almost 30 Sometimes videos to music
playlists radio stations don’t open too
We cannot watch movies Easy using of music’s Easy instalation process
library
Good quality of sound Good quality of sound Sound doesn’t have good
quality
I think that the best alternative for Windows Media Player is exactly RealPlayer. We
can watch not only movies from the Internet in this program, but also we can listen
songs we have on our computer. The second alternative could be Foobar2000,
because of the great possibility of creating playlists. That could make finding our
song easier.

9. According to dobreprogramy.pl
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 12 is
really good program, easy in
using. It also contains
advance function who could
help user.

10. Producer of Sony Vegas claims
that this program is very good
for advance users. However,
according to his words, people
who start their adventure
with making movies could
have problems with using
that.

11. Advantages Advantages
1. We can add two or more music songs 1. Good passage between two soundtracks
to our movie 2. Few ways of putting movies
2. Easy searching our movies 3. Great sound of music
3. Easy recording 4. Filters which help in erasing hype
4. Good effects 5. Filters which can change color during
recreating
5. Functions are easy in using
Disadvantages Disadvantages
1. Music does not have great sound 1. Functions are really advances
2. Number of cages is which we could 2. A lot of frames and I didn’t know how to
see under our movie is too big use them
3. There are a lot of buttons which in 3. Program opens several minutes
real are not needed 4. Does not read flv and mp4 movies
4. There is not nice passage between 5. Songs levy on each other and it sounds
bad
two soundtracks

12. In my opinion the best alternative for Windows
Movie Maker is MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 12.
Downloading of this program isn’t difficult the
same as using. This program has similar
filters as Windows M.M but it is more
advanced. However even beginner user can
make good movie in that program

14. Gimp is totally different from
Paint, because it could be
used by professional graphics.
Gimp doesn’t have super
functions, but it is better than
Paint

15. Photoshop is the best known
graphic program in the whole
graphic world. It is purposed
for important operations and
because of this all filtres and
actions are difficult to use for
beginner user

16. PhotoFiltre is the easiest
introduction into graphic
world. We can do simple
opearion in that program, like
doing frames or chaning color
of photo

17. GIMP PHOTOSHOP PHOTOFILTRE
Contains layers Contains layers Does not contain visible
layers
Contains transparents Also contains transparent Contains a lot of colour
layers who are helpfull layers which can be used
during using
Does not contain specific Contains a lot of actions Really good for beginner
acions and filters users
Contain gradient Contain gradient Contain sgradient
Easy in using, but making Dificult in using, making Is useful in simple
frames is difficult, because frames is difficult, because operations like doing frame
of number of laps of big number of laps or changing color of the
whole picture, easy in using
In my opinion the best alternative for Paint is PhotoFiltre, because it is easy in
using and doesn’t have huge number of actions, which also don’t occur in Paint.
However, Paint has transparent layer, Photofiltre doesn’t. But using Gimp and
Photoshop to easy operations which are made in Paint have no sense, because
those programs open longer than PhotoFiltre.

19. Open Office writer looks similar to
Word only because of graphic side.
In fact it is totally different program
and in my opinion it is even better
than normal Word

21. Notepad is free program, which
is a part of Windows
Software. We can call it
„preWord”, because it was the
first text editor in Windsows
World. Today functions of
first notepad look too simple

22. Open Office Publisher Notepad
Writer
Bigger fonts choice Downloaded fonts don’t have polish
symbols
Better graphic Basic graphic – white background for
writing
I can put photo and There is no big choice in functions – I
the text won’t go cannot change colour of some text’s
down but ring my fragment
picture
Handling of head and Doesn’t have head and footer of
footer is easier document
There is no problem Putting photos in Notepad is
with putting pictures impossible
There is no problem There is no special symbols like
with pointing most points which can detailed important
important things things

24. 280 Slides is the first online
presentation maker I’ve ever
meet. I was very happy that I
found something which let me
put my presentation into
Internet, but unfortunately
this program is not so good as
I thought before.

25. The same as 280 slides Prezi is
online presentation maker. I
thought it will be remind
other presentation makers,
but it is even worse! All
desktop look like a mind map
not presentation area.

26. It is next online presentation maker
and it is terrible because of lack of
suitable buttons which can
explain were functions are
placed. It is terrible

27. 280 SLIDES Sliderocket Prezi
I can’t put my background I can put my background I cannot chose background
to presentation and control frame size from my desktop
There are only basic fonts There are few extra fonts I can’t choose the best font
There are only three There are four presentation There is no presentation
presentation systems system system – only big desktop
Colour of presentation are I can’t choose color of my The only colour is white
too light or too dark and I presentation, because I cant which is really light.
cannot change it find suitable button
I can add movies straight I can’t put images into I don’t know how to move
from the Internet or my presentation, because of in this program. It reminds
computer (but before I have stupid: „credits” I achieve mind map and is really
to be logged) chaotic
I can download this Program is charging a lot of Understanding this
presentation to my time. program is really difficult,
computer or automatically because there is no frames
put it into Internet or buttons like in PP

28. I think that 280 SLIDES is the best program
which could be alternative for PowerPoint.
That is true, that his options are very little
comparing to PP, but this program is more
better than other I checked. I think that
280 SLIDES is the best for people who
don’t need advance options

30. Quatro Pro is older than
Microsoft Excel, but in my
opinion he has better options
than ME, because of functions

31. Open Office Calc has the same
structure as Microsoft Excel
but nicer graphic and buttons
which are easier to
understand, because of better
translation

32. Quattro Pro Open Office Calc
Advanced graphic Less bookmarks than in normal
Excel
Contain easy formulas Contains a lot of forumalas needed in
Excel
Possibility of creating huge Easier in using than normal Excel
documents (wikipedia.org)
Saved documents have less size than
in Excel
Calc is available in every operatin
system
Open Office Calc is better program, because it has more function,
which do not occure in Quattro Pro. Person who uses Open Office Calc
will be have basics to using Microsoft Excel, because they are the same.
