General Tab in the Slide Inspector
Following are the settings in the General tab of the Slide Inspector.
• Slide Duration: Displays the duration of the selected slide. You can enter a new duration
or choose a duration from the pop-up menu.
• Manual Advance: Determines whether the slideshow pauses (checkbox selected) or
continues playing to the next slide (checkbox not selected).
• Audio File: Displays the name of the audio asset assigned to this slide. You can use this
pop-up menu to choose from the audio assets already imported into this project.
Important: All audio files within a slideshow must have the same format, resolution,
and bit rate.
• DVD@CCESS: Select this checkbox for titles played on a computer if you need to open
an application such as a web browser to view special content when the slide starts
playing. See
DVD@CCESS for information on DVD@CCESS.
Previewing a Slideshow
Before you build the slideshow, it’s a good idea to preview it.
To preview a slideshow
1 Select the slideshow in the Outline tab.
2 In the Slideshow Editor, select the slide to start playing from.
3 Do one of the following:
• Press the Space bar.
• In the Slideshow tab, Control-click a slide, then choose Play from the shortcut menu.
The Viewer tab appears and the slideshow starts playing from the selected slide. If the
slideshow has audio assigned, it also plays. A drawback is that pauses are ignored. You
can use the Simulator to play the slideshow and test any pauses you have set.
