Setting Slideshow Options
Now that you’ve created a slideshow, use the
Slideshow editor to change several settings
that pertain to how long each photo appears,
whether the slideshow repeats, and more.
To enter the Slideshow editor:
u Double-click a slideshow in the menu
(or in the Map view) to bring up the
Slideshow editor (Figure 4.6).
To set the slide duration:
u Choose a time from the Slide Duration
pop-up menu to specify how long each
photo remains onscreen before loading
the next one (Figure 4.7).
If you’ve included background audio in
your slideshow (see “Adding Background
Audio,” later in this chapter), you can also
choose Fit To Audio, which divides the
total audio playing time by the num-
ber of photos to come up with an equal
display time for each photo (for example,
a slideshow of five photos that contains
60 seconds of audio would display each
picture for 12 seconds).
The last option, Manual, requires the
viewer to advance the frames using the
DVD player’s controls. Manual is not
available if you add background audio.
To set the transition style:
u Choose a transition type from the Tran-
sition pop-up menu (Figure 4.8). As
with transitions between menus (see
Chapter 1), this setting applies only when
you’re advancing to the next slide; if you
switch to the previous image, no transi-
tion occurs.
For transitions that can operate in dif-
ferent directions, such as Cube, click
a directional arrow to the right of the
pop-up menu.
Figure 4.6 The Slideshow editor contains the options
you need to control your slideshow.
Figure 4.8 Click the Transition pop-up
menu to choose an effect that plays each
time the slide advances.
Figure 4.7 The Slide Duration pop-up
menu controls how long a photo appears
onscreen before advancing.
