Slide show settings

The slide show settings can be individually decided for each slide show.

Under “Slide show” -> “Settings” you can access the window for the “Slide show settings”. You can also access the settings directly via the button in the menu bar.

Basic settings:

Here you can change the “Standard exposure time" of your images, as well as select a “Random playback sequence” for your images.

You can adjust the "display quality" according to the performance of your computer here. The higher the quality the higher is the required performance. This setting is of no importance during the creation of the video. It concerns the quality when replaying the show using the AquaSoft ® SlideShow Player. If the "display quality" is too high for your PC this can lead to a jerky replay experience of your show.

You can likewise set the “Aspect ratio” of your show here. Should this not correspond to the aspect ratio of your images, you will get edges or you fit your images into the desired aspect ratio.

Under “SlideShow Player” you can choose between the “Software Player” and the “Standard Player (DirectX)”. For the “Standard Player (DirectX)” a DirectX 9c-compatible graphics card with at least 64 MB memory is required. It is also mandatory that you use the manufacturer’s current graphics card driver!

If you still have an older graphics card or one with little memory please use the “Software Player”. If your show is set to use the “Standard Player (DirectX)” it will be checked if it is possible to use it with your graphics card before playing the show. If this isn't the case the “Software Player” is used automatically.

The “Standard Player (DirectX)” is considerably more powerful than the “Software Player”, however a corresponding graphics card is required.

You will find settings for the corresponding “SlideShow Player” further on in this section.

Slide show end:

Here you can decide what is supposed to happen at the end of the slide show played back.

Transitions:

Here you can select which transitions are supposed to be included in the “Random transition”. All those with green check marks are included, all those with a red cross are not included.

Music settings:

The music settings are explained in further detail here.

Background music:

The topic of background music is dealt with in detail here.

Description:

You can individually personalize your show. Here you can specify a title, author and a description of your show.

Logo:

If you want to start your show with a „Logo“ you can select and image here. You can also simply omit a logo.

Standard player:

The AquaSoft SlideShow Player takes on the task of playing back a slide show. Here you can decide the settings for it. First check which “SlideShow Player” you are using. You will see this in the “Basic settings”.

The “IntelliLoad” specifies how many seconds of the show should be loaded in advance.

If you want to use the selected settings as default for every new slide show then click „As default“. These settings will then be automatically assigned to all future shows. By clicking the button „Original settings“ you can reset all settings to the factory values.
