Setting an Individual Slide’s Transition
You can use either the Slide Inspector or the Slideshow Editor to set the transition for a
slide.
To set a slide’s transition in the Slide Inspector
1 Select the slide for which you want to set a transition.
2 Click the Transition tab in the Slide Inspector and set the transition parameters.
In addition to selecting one of the transitions to use, you can choose “not set” to disable
transitions for that slide, or “Same as Slideshow” to have the slide use the slideshow’s
default transition.
To select a transition for a group of slides
1 Select the group of slides for which you want to select a transition.
2 Control-click one of the slides, choose Transition from the shortcut menu, then choose
the transition from the submenu.
Setting the Transition Parameters
The Transition tabs in the Slideshow and Slide Inspectors are identical—the only difference
is that the Type pop-up menu in the Slide Inspector has a “Same as Slideshow“ choice
that the Slideshow Inspector does not have.
• Start thumbnail: Shows the video frame that a still transition will start from.
• Transition thumbnail: Provides a preview of a still transition when you click the Preview
button.
• End thumbnail: Shows the video frame that a still transition will end with. This thumbnail
is empty in the Slideshow Inspector.
• Transition: Choose the type of transition to use. In the Slideshow Inspector, this sets
the default transition for this slideshow, which you can override at each slide.
• not set: Disables transitions for this slideshow or slide. (Even with “not set” chosen
for the slideshow, you can set transitions at each slide.)
