Set the slideshow aspect ratio and crop
Determining the aspect ratio of the slideshow is the first setting you need to address. Aperture
slideshows can be output at aspect ratios that match either the main or secondary display, the
dimensions of a standard 4:3 or 16:9 widescreen TV, or the 3:2 aspect ratio of iPhone.
For some themes, you can also choose how photos appear within the slideshow aspect ratio. For
example, you can have photos fit within the frame without cropping, or you can have photos fill
the frame, which might cause cropping. You can also apply the Ken Burns effect, which zooms in
to or out of photos in the slideshow.
Set the aspect ratio for the slideshow
1 Select a slideshow album in the Library inspector.
2 Click the Slideshow Settings button in the lower-right corner of the Slideshow Editor, and click
the Default Settings button.

•
To fit every photo in the slideshow within the chosen aspect ratio without cropping the photos:

Cropping will occur along the longest dimension of each photo unless the photo’s aspect ratio
matches the aspect ratio chosen in the Aspect Ratio pop-up menu. Drag within the images to
set the portions of the photos that are visible.
•
To apply a Ken Burns effect to the photos in the slideshow: Choose Ken Burns Effect from the Crop
pop-up menu.
