Share your slideshow movies
After you complete your slideshow, you can share it with clients and friends. Aperture provides a
few simple controls for exporting your slideshow as a movie, in the size and format most suitable
for your intended audience. When you’re ready to share your slideshow, the rst thing you
need to decide is how it will be viewed. The Export dialog provides options for exporting your
slideshow as a movie suitable for playback on iPhone, iPod, iPod touch, or iPad; as a movie for
the web to be posted on YouTube; or as a high-resolution movie compatible with HD 720p or
HD 1080p televisions. You can also output your slideshow movie in a custom size.
