CREATING A SLIDE SHOW
Slide shows offer a great way to present photos in a fun, flashy way. When assembling a slide show, you have
lots of creative options. You can arrange photos any way you want, attach audio files to each slide, rotate and edit
photos, and even create your own "Pan & Zoom" effects. In other words, you don't need to prep photos before
adding them into a slide show. You can do it all here. Steps/options include:
• Adding Photos
• Arranging Photos
• Rotating Photos
• Inserting Blank Slides
• Attaching Audio
• Editing Photos
• Adding "Pan & Zoom" Effects
• Setting The Chapter Button Thumbnail
• Including Transitions
• Creating A Soundtrack
• Setting The Duration
• Naming Your Slide Show
• Previewing Your Work
Slide shows will appear as separate chapters on your DVD. By double-clicking the respective chapter button
thumbnail on your menu, you can edit any slide show in your project. To create a slide show, click "Create New
Slide Show." The Slide Show Creator screen will appear.

of the buttons are initially dimmed; they'll become available after you add some pics.
