Converting a Slideshow to a Track
You may want to add several features to your slideshow that the Slideshow Editor does
not support. These include:
• Subtitles
• Alternate language streams
• The ability to combine moving video with the slides
To get access to these features, you can convert your slideshow to a track. Once converted
to a track, what was previously a slideshow is now a track, and must be edited in the
Track Editor.
Note: Once you convert a slideshow to a track, you cannot convert it back. You can use
the Undo feature or create a duplicate of the slideshow before you convert it to a track.
If you do create a duplicate of the slideshow, be sure to delete the duplicate before you
build your project.
To convert a slideshow to a track
1 In the Outline tab, Control-click the slideshow’s name, then choose Duplicate from the
shortcut menu.
An identical copy of the slideshow is created in case you need it later. You should delete
this copy when you are sure that it is no longer needed.
2 Choose the original slideshow in the Slideshow Editor.
3 Do one of the following:
• Choose Project > Slideshow > Convert to Track.
• Click Convert To Track in the Slideshow Editor.
