Workflow for Creating a Multimedia Slideshow Presentation
Creating, editing, and sharing slideshows containing your images is a fairly simple process.
Here are some of the typical steps in the slideshow creation and sharing process.
Stage 1: Selecting Images, Audio Clips, and Video Clips
Gather your initial selection of images and video clips in the Browser. Locate any audio
clips you plan to use in your slideshow presentation.
Stage 2: Creating a Slideshow Album
Create a slideshow album in the Library inspector from the selection of images and video
clips in the Browser and choose a theme for the slideshow. Drag additional images and
video clips into the slideshow album as necessary.
Note: The Classic and Ken Burns slideshow themes are the most customizable. Use the
dialog that appears when you create a new slideshow album to preview the slideshow
themes that come with Aperture. If you want to significantly modify a slideshow theme,
choose Classic or Ken Burns.
Stage 3: Arranging the Slideshow Presentation
Arrange the images and video clips in the Browser, below the Slideshow Editor, from left
to right to tell the story you want. Each image and video clip functions as an individual
slide.
Stage 4: Previewing the Slideshow in the Slideshow Editor
Preview the slideshow in the Slideshow Editor to verify that images and video clips play
in the correct sequence.
