When Working with Slideshows, the selected Slideshow Style generally dictates the slide and transition durations. You do, however, have the flexibility to adjust the display time for individual slides or Album Sets. This allows you to tailor the duration each slide appears on the screen relative to the standard timing set by the Slideshow Style. Options include:
- 4.0 x Faster
- 2.0 x Faster
- Style Time (1x)
- 1.5 x Slower
- 2.0 x Slower
- 2.5 x Slower
- 3.0 x Slower
Practical Examples
- Larger family group photos might be set to display for a longer period, indicated by a tortoise tag
on their thumbnail. - A sequence of rapid, secondary images ("B roll") might be sped up, marked by a rabbit tag
on their thumbnail.
Removing Timing Adjustments
Select the affected slides and reset them to the standard style duration by selecting "Style Time (1x)" from the popup menu.
