Mode) for the length of the music to match the duration of the slideshow, i.e.
its specified length on the timeline.
Sequence: use this option to set the order of the photos in the slideshow.
Select Timeline order (if launched in Full Feature Mode) to have the sequence
match the order the photos are currently displayed in the timeline. Select
Date/time taken for the photos to display in chronological order based on the
date and time they were taken.
Detect faces: some slideshow templates include this option. When selected,
the Slideshow Creator will scan and detect the faces in the photos included in
the slideshow. The faces in the photos will then become the area of focus in
the created photo slideshows.
