Convert PSH to AVI

Understanding the psh and avi file formats

PSH files are project files created by Photodex ProShow, a slideshow creation software. These files store information about slides, transitions, effects, and media references, but do not contain actual video or image data. In contrast, an AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file is a widely used multimedia container format developed by Microsoft, capable of storing both video and audio streams for playback on various devices and platforms.

Why convert psh to avi?

Converting a PSH project file to AVI allows you to share your slideshow as a standard video file, making it accessible on most media players and devices without requiring ProShow software.

How to convert psh to avi

Since PSH files are project files and not actual videos, you must use Photodex ProShow (such as ProShow Gold or ProShow Producer) to export your project as an AVI video. Direct conversion without the original software is not possible.

Step-by-step conversion using ProShow

1. Open your PSH file in ProShow Gold or ProShow Producer.
2. Go to File → Publish → Video for Web, Devices, and Computers.
3. Select AVI as the output format.
4. Adjust the video settings (resolution, frame rate, quality) as needed.
5. Click Create or Publish to export your slideshow as an AVI file.

Best software for psh to avi conversion

The most reliable software for this conversion is Photodex ProShow Producer or ProShow Gold. These programs natively support PSH files and offer robust export options, including AVI output. No online converter or third-party tool can convert PSH to AVI without access to the original ProShow software.

Tips for successful conversion

• Ensure all referenced media files (images, audio, video) are accessible and not missing.
• Preview your slideshow before exporting to check for errors or missing content.
• Choose the appropriate video settings for your intended use (e.g., HD for YouTube, lower resolution for email).
