7.7Create Slide Show

You can create a photo slide show, which is added to your movie as a separate chapter.

Step 1. Launch the program and click "Create" at the top of the screen to go to the Create module.

Step 2. From the Media tab, click "Create Slideshow."

Step 3. Click "Add Photos" to browse your system for photos to add to your slide show, or click the "Acquire Photos" button to add photos directly from your scanner.

Step 4. Click and drag the photos you have added to order them.

Step 5. Use the buttons in the Slide Show dialog to further customize your slide show. When you're finished, click "Next."

-Click "Edit Photo" to crop, enhance, or add text to the selected photo.

-Click "Pan & Zoom" to apply your own scrolling and zoom effect to each photo. See Section 7.8 for more information on Pan & Zoom.

-Use the buttons along the top of the dialog to rotate the selected photo, add blank slides, add an audio annotation to the selected photo, or set the selected photo as the chapter button thumbnail.

Step 6. If you would like to include a soundtrack, click "Select Files" and choose the audio tracks you would like to add. The soundtrack plays over the entire presentation, whereas the audio annotation from Step 5 plays just for one slide.

Step 7. In the "Duration" section, set the display time for the slides. To automatically time the slide show according to the length of your soundtrack, choose "Auto-fit to Soundtrack."

Step 8. In the "Transition" section, choose the transition or special effect you want.

Step 9. When you're ready to produce your slide show, click "Finish." The program will compile it and add it to your movie.

More information about slide shows is in Section 4.7.
