Use the Action pane of the Build Inspector to modify the Smart Build in any of the
following ways:
To change settings such as direction, alignment, and perspective, use the controls in the
Build Inspector. (The settings available depend on the effect you choose.)
To change how long the build takes, type a value in the Duration field (or click the
arrows).
To specify whether to begin a build stage automatically or on click, choose an option from
the Start Build pop-up menu in the Build Order drawer. (For more information, see
“Activating Object Builds” on page 110.)
To set different timings for individual photos, select “Set separate timings for elements,”
and then, in the Build Order drawer, select each photo and change its settings.
Some Smart Builds use effects that can also move the images on or off a slide. See
“Moving Objects on or off Slides Using Build Effects” on page 103.
You can create an action build on a master slide so that build effects appear on every
slide created using that master. See “Defining Default Transitions” on page 196 for
instructions.
Reordering Object Builds
You can change the order of builds on a slide. For example, you can make an object
move on and off the screen before another object moves onto the screen. You can also
make different parts of an object (such as a bullet in a series of bullets) build at
different times. (For information about using object parts, see “Creating Builds That
Interleave an Object’s Parts” on page 111.)
Here are ways to change the order in which builds occur:

In the Build Inspector, if the Build Order drawer isn’t open, click More Options. In the
Build Order drawer, drag items to reorder them.

Select an object on the slide canvas, and then select an option from the Order pop-up
menu in the Build Inspector.

photo is part of a Smart Build.
