Figure 16-6: Click a right-pointing arrow on a transition to open the Transitions pop-up menu.

Be conservative with the transition effects. Too many transitions of different types can make the slide show appear amateurish and be distracting to the viewers.

9. (Optional) Add audio and media.

You can add audio to the slide show by choosing Add Media⇒Audio from Organizer (or from Folder). Select an audio file and click OK.

You can also add movie files to your slide show. A movie file can be added on top of a slide or on a new slide. When the slide show is played, the video file plays. Choose Add Media⇒Photos and Videos from Organizer (or from Folder).

This same set of commands can also be used to add more pictures to the slide show.

10. (Optional) Record your own sounds.

If you want to add narration, click the Narration tool (represented by a microphone icon to the right of the Text tool) in the Panels Bin, and the Extras panel changes to provide you with tools to record a sound or import a sound file. Note that this option requires that you have a microphone properly configured on your computer.

11. (Optional) Fit slides to the audio.

If you have 3 minutes of audio and the slide duration is 2 minutes and 30 seconds, you can, with a single mouse-click, fit the slide duration uniformly to fit the 3-minute audio time. Just click the Fit Slides to Audio button below the preview image.

If you want to manually adjust time for slide durations, click the down arrow on the time readout below the slide thumbnails in the Storyboard.

12. Click Output on the Shortcuts bar and then, in the dialog box that opens, type a name and click Save.

Your project is added to the Organizer and is available for further editing later. Or you can open the project to save in a number of different output formats, as we explain in the following section.

13. Preview the slide show.

Before exporting the slide show, you can see a preview by clicking the buttons directly below the image preview area. If you want a full-screen preview, click the Full Screen Preview button on the Shortcuts bar and click the Play button.

This section does not yet export the slides to a file. It simply saves a project that you can reopen and edit. To create the slide show file, follow the ­directions in the next section, “Exporting to slides and video.”

If you don’t like the order of the slides when you open the Slide Show Editor, you can easily reorder the slides by dragging them back and forth along the timeline.

Exporting to slides and video

After creating a project, you have a number of output options. You can write a project to disc for archival purposes and include slide shows on a video CD (videodisc) or DVD. You can e-mail a slide show to another user, share a project online, write a project compatible for display on a TV, or save to either a PDF slide show or Windows movie file.

To write a PDF slide show or a movie file, follow these steps:
