Viewing, Printing, and Exporting Your Slideshow

 Interactive Slideshow enables viewers to advance the slideshow by clicking Play in

the QuickTime controls, clicking the mouse, or pressing the Space bar on the

keyboard.

 With Self-Playing Movie, the viewer has no control over the speed at which the

slideshow advances. You determine the speed of object builds and how long slides

linger on the screen by typing values in the Slide Duration and Build Duration fields.

 Slide Duration specifies how long the fully-built slide remains on the screen after

the object build is complete.

 Build Duration specifies the number of seconds between the beginning of one

build stage and the next in each object build. There is no delay between the

moment a slide first appears on the screen and the first stage of an object build.

For a self-playing movie, you can choose an option from the Repeat pop-up menu.

5

Choose a playback quality and file size from the Formats pop-up menu.

 Full Quality, Large preserves the best playback quality, but these movies are large

and are therefore more difficult to transfer through email or the web.

 CD-ROM Movie, Medium is best if you are using a CD to send the slideshow to

another viewer. These movies are high in quality but have somewhat smaller file

sizes than full-quality movies.

 Web Movie, Small movies generally have poorer playback quality but are small

enough to be shared across the web or through email.

 Custom enables you to choose your own QuickTime compression settings for video

and audio, so you can control the tradeoff between file size and quality.

6

To include audio files in the movie, select “Include audio.”

7

If your slideshow has a transparent background you want to preserve in your

QuickTime movie, select “Include transparency.”

Note: Some transitions might not work correctly with this option selected.
