Use the Settings tab to adjust the slideshow’s start time, duration, and transitions between slides:

The Slideshow Placement controls determine where your slideshow will begin on the selected track.

• Select the Start at cursor radio button if you want the slideshow to begin at the cursor position you set in step 1.

• Select the Start at radio button and type a time in the edit box if you want to adjust the start time.

The Duration controls determine the length of time each slide is displayed or the overall length of the slideshow.

Choose a setting from the Effect drop-down list to choose a transition, and type a value in the Overlap box to indicate

how long slides will overlap. Type 0 in the Overlap box to change between slides with no transitions. This sort of abrupt

change is called a cut.

Click the Create button.
