Slideshow templates in VS9

Post by jmorgie »

bunch of questions about making a slideshow and burning to DVD:

1. How do I build a new template? is there a web page somewhere that describes how to do it?

2. I found the trick to setting the [global] time duration for the pics -- but how about global setting for pan-and-zoom? global setting for transitions?

3. If there is *NOT* a way to build a new template, then how can I get same wipe effects, automatic pan-and-zoom, overlay, etc. onto a set of pics?

What template, what do you want to do?

Are you going to share your trick with us. It may be useful.....I think you have to use Pan and Zoom on each seperate clip

One at a time, i'm afraid

But you can on some clips , right click and select ‘copy attributes’ then paste to another clip.
Not sure of the restrictions.

SLIDESHOW TEMPLATES

Post by jmorgie »

1. WHAT KIND OF TEMPLATE? SLIDESHOW TEMPLATE. JUST LIKE I WROTE IN THE TITLE OF THE REQUEST.

2. not a trick. Its in Preferences.

3. So How do *YOU* select multiple clips or multiple pics to change all their attributes at once? I havent figure it out. theres Ctrl-A which selects ALL of them. but how about selecting only a few at a time? and then how do you apply the attributes? do you have an answer ??

Hi

As to question 1 Please don’t shout.

As far as I know you cannot create a template for creating a slide show.
The procedure is quite easy, everyone will have there own ideas.

From File-Preferences-edit—set the default durations to 12 –4—4

In the General tab select ‘Use default Transition effect’—random

Insert all your images to the timeline.

Add a colour clip to the start and end of the project (x fade to first clip)

Add audio and titles

Done

2 / you can also change the image clip duration from the ‘Clip’ menu at the top.

3/ You can use shift / click to select a number of adjacent clips

Right click—copy attributes (if there are available to copy)
Right click –to paste.
