Stage 5: Selecting Music
Choose the music or audio clip that will play during the slideshow. You can apply a looped
song to the main audio track and then add voiceover audio clips and other audio clips to the
secondary audio track.
Stage 6: Adjusting Transitions
Adjust transitions to emphasize the most important photos in the slideshow or give a particular
treatment to photos with similar subject matter. Make sure that the sequence of photos and the
duration of the transitions match the cadence and tempo of the music or audio clip you selected
for the slideshow.
Stage 7: Titling and Adding Text to the Slideshow
Add a title to your slideshow using the titling controls. Insert a blank slide at the beginning of
the movie to display your title. You can also use blank slides to act as chapter dividers. Add text
to individual slides where appropriate.
Stage 8: Previewing the Slideshow Again
Preview the slideshow once again in full-screen mode to make sure the photos and video clips
are playing in the correct sequence. Ensure that the music or audio clip matches the theme of
the slideshow and the cadence of the photos and video clips, that the eects and transitions are
to your liking, and that the title text is correct.
Stage 9: Exporting the Slideshow
Export the slideshow as a movie in the format that best ts the platform by which you mean to
share it. You can choose a format that is optimized for iPhone, iPod, iPod touch, iPad, YouTube,
Apple TV, 720p HD, or 1080p HD. You can also create a custom movie in a wide range of frame
rates and frame sizes.
Stage 10: Sharing Your Slideshow
After exporting your slideshow movie, tell your clients and friends. If you’ve posted your
slideshow on your website or YouTube, send an email announcement.
Creating Slideshow Albums
To create a slideshow using the Slideshow Editor, you must rst create an album that holds the
slideshow’s photos. The easiest way to do this is to select photos you want to appear in the
slideshow and then create an album. Aperture places the photos in the order in which they were
selected in the Browser, but you can rearrange the order at any time.

1 Do one of the following:
•
In the Browser, select the photos you want to place in your slideshow.
