Slideshow Editor
The slideshow editor displays all the photos in the selected slideshow and provides
controls for you to set up how the slideshow plays. To see the slideshow editor, double-
click a slideshow button or an image in a drop zone slideshow.
A Slideshow length: See how long the slideshow will last in minutes and seconds.
B List or thumbnail view: Click to switch between a list of slides or a thumbnail view.
C Slideshow photos list: Scroll through the list to see the photos in this slideshow. Drag the
thumbnails to rearrange the order of the photos.
D Title and Comments: Type a title and your comments about the photo. These appear under the
slides in your slideshow. Only what you type is shown; the placeholder text is not shown.
E Slide Duration pop-up menu: Choose how long each slide should appear when the slideshow
plays. When you add a soundtrack, this is automatically set to “Fit To Audio” so the slideshow and
the soundtrack finish at the same time.
F Transition pop-up menu and direction controls: Choose a transition that moves from one slide
to the next. With some transitions, you can use the arrow buttons to pick a direction for the
transition to move.
G Audio well: Drag a song or iTunes playlist here to play it in the background while the slideshow
plays. Hold the pointer over the sound file icon in the audio well to see the song’s title and
length (or the title of the first song in a playlist). Move the volume slider left or right to adjust the
volume of the audio.
