OPERATION OF COMPUTER-BASED SLIDE SHOW
Graphical User Interface
The graphical user interface (GUI) is sized for 800x600 resolution to provide a good working resolution for features of the
program operating across ten different graphics display resolutions. Before starting the Shoot-Out software, you will need
to make sure your computer graphics card is set for the intended resolution you select within the Shoot-Out software;
otherwise, the images will either not fill the display or will extend past the edges of your display and become clipped.
Special note when using Volume 1.0 or 1.5: In those two previous versions of the Shoot-Out software, users
of the 848x480 and 024x52 resolutions will see that the Shoot-Out software GUI extends past the top and
bottom of the viewable display area. This is because its height is 600 pixels. On the right side you will see a
white arrow that allows scrolling to the bottom to access features. Likewise, a return arrow allows scrolling to
the top. This is necessary in order for the GUI to operate within those two resolutions having limited vertical
resolution. This feature is not necessary in all other resolutions in this software.
Basic Slide Show Operation
Use the menus on the left of the screen to choose the year/resolution of your presentation, to load preset slide layouts,
to set the time in seconds that each slide is displayed, to choose a transition type between slides, and set the speed and
direction of the transition.
The last menu on the left is the new Music menu. The speaker icon will turn the sound on and off, but the pull-down menu
will allow you to choose various styles of music for your presentation. You may also add your own music in the following
way:
• Create a folder, and name it with a short name that describes the style of music you wish to include.
• Then place MP3 files of the music you want into that folder.
• Finally, place that folder into the “music” folder in the main Shootout folder. When you start the program again,
your folder should appear as a choice in the “Music” menu.
