Adding Slides to a Slideshow

Slides can be added to a slideshow one at a time or as a group.

Note: Do not mix slides with 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios in a slideshow. Slideshows only
directly support the 4:3 aspect ratio.

To add slides to a slideshow

1

Select one or a group of slides in the Assets tab, the Palette, or a Finder window.

2

Drag the file or files to the Slideshow Editor. If there are existing slides in the editor, a line
appears where you position the pointer. The Slideshow Editor inserts the new slides
underneath the line. By moving the pointer before releasing the mouse button, you can
control where the slides are inserted.

If you add a group of slides, the slides are added in alphabetical order. You can easily
rearrange the slide order later.

Selecting Slides in a Slideshow

As you add slides to a slideshow, you will need to be able to scroll through the list and
select the slide you want to work on.

To scroll through the slideshow list
Do one of the following:

µ

Drag the scroller along the right edge of the Slideshow Editor.

µ

Press the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to move through the list one slide at a time.

µ

Press the Option key, then the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key to jump to the first or last
slide in the list.

µ

Press the Page Up and Page Down keys to move through the list one page at a time.

In the last three cases, a slide is selected and it appears in the Viewer tab.

There are times when you will want to select a group of slides. For example, you might
need to delete them, change their duration, or move them to a different point in the list.
There are several ways to select groups of slides.
