The photos on the timeline are linked together by transition tabs (AB). At the top, you have the preview pane with playback controls and a tabbed browser where you can add and customise transitions, effects and titles (text boxes). The photos you add to the slideshow appear on a timeline at the bottom of the window.

The manual method is similar to using a video editing application. A preview pane is located to the right to preview the slideshow. The way you set fades and effects is very easy. The type of fades and effects are listed (with appropriate icons for reference) and you have to drag the slider alongside each type to set the frequency of occurrence. The next step is where all the action lies-stylising your slideshow! You can either choose from a bunch of style templates or set the fades, effects, text boxes and background music manually. The thumbnails of photos get displayed as you add them. In the next step, you have to specify the photos and videos you wish to add to the slideshow and set the display duration of each photo.

The first step in the wizard prompts you to select the image format (widescreen 16:9 or standard 4:3) and the disc format (DVD, DVD DL, Blu-ray and AVCHD). Let’s consider the wizard for now, and later move on to the manual way. You can either start a new project and go the manual way, or create a new slideshow with a wizard, which is the easier and quicker way out, especially if you’re new to the software.
