See Next Jump and Prev Jump for more information.
Duplicating the Last Slide
Duplicating the last slide in a slideshow allows you to create a “false ending” for the
slideshow, and avoid the pause issue.
To duplicate and configure the last slide in a slideshow
1 In the Slideshow Editor, determine the asset name of the last slide and drag that slide’s
asset from the Assets tab to the next slide location.
2 Select the new last slide in the Slideshow Editor and set its duration to 15 frames by
double-clicking its duration value, entering 15, then pressing Return.
Note: For PAL projects, you can use a 12 frame duration.
3 Make sure the last slide’s Pause checkbox is not selected.
When you play this version of the slideshow and press the Next button on the last slide
with a pause, it jumps to the new last slide and then to the End Jump setting.
Using Slideshow Transitions
Slideshow transitions allow you to control whether the slideshow directly jumps from
slide to slide or uses a transition effect, such as a wipe or crossfade, to move from slide
to slide. You are able to set a transition effect that applies to all slides in the slideshow
or you can individually configure each slide’s transition effect.
About Transitions
Each slide has its own transition settings, accessible in the Transition tab in the Slide
Inspector. The default transition settings for the slideshow are in the Transition tab in the
Slideshow Inspector.
The transition is considered part of the slide, and, in most cases, does not affect its duration.
Using long transitions may lead to the slide being visible for only a short time, or may
require the slide’s duration to be increased. When you select a transition for a slide, group
of slides, or the slideshow, a warning appears if any slides must be lengthened.
Start and End Frames
Each transition has a start and end frame. The start frame is the slide you are transitioning
from, and the end is the slide you are transitioning to.
If the last slide in a slideshow has a transition assigned, its transition’s end frame is based
on the slideshow’s End Jump setting. If the End Jump is set to a script, the transition is
to black.
