Operation Manual

Note: The availability of controls in the Selected Slides pane of the Slideshow Editor
depends on the theme applied to the slideshow.
For more information about working with the default settings for a slideshow, see
Modifying Settings Applied to the Entire Slideshow.
Working with Video Slides
In Aperture, you can add video clips as individual slides in your slideshow. You work with
video clips in the Slideshow Editor and Browser in the same way that you work with
images. However, there are additional controls in the Selected Slides pane of the Slideshow
Editor for specifying the volume settings of the video clip. For example, you can mute
the audio clip in the main audio track so that it doesn’t drown out the audio in the video
clip while it is playing in the slideshow. You can also set duration of the fade-in and
fade-out of the video clip’s audio to smooth out abrupt transitions between the video
clip and the audio clip in the slideshow’s main audio track.
Note: To trim a video clip or duplicate a video clip so that you can use multiple portions
of it in the same slideshow, see Listening to Audio and Viewing Video in the Viewer.
To set the volume for a video slide
1 Select a video clip in the Browser.
2 If the Selected Slides pane of the Slideshow Editor is not shown, click the Selected Slides
button.
Note: The video controls appear in the Selected Slides pane only when a video clip is
selected in the Browser.
3 Specify the volume of the video clip as it plays in the slideshow using the Volume slider
and value slider.
You can set the volume of a video clip to smoothly increase over time by applying a
fade-in. Adding a fade-in to a video clip helps prevent an abrupt transition from the audio
clip in the slideshow’s main audio track to the audio in the video clip.

In the Selected Slides pane of the Slideshow Editor, specify the duration of the fade-in,
