PLACEHOLDER_ALT Playing a Slideshow

There are several options for starting a slideshow:

  1. Click on the Run Slideshow tool PLACEHOLDER_ALT on the toolbar.
  2. On the top menu, go to Slideshow > Start.
  3. Use the keyboard shortcut CmdCtrl + J.
Additional Starting Options

Additional starting options can be found by right-clicking on the Run Slideshow tool PLACEHOLDER_ALT . Select an option from the list:

  • Start Paused: The slideshow loads on the screen in a paused state, ready to be played. Press the space bar to start the slideshow. Whether it starts showing the first slide or just the background depends on the "Show First Slide on Paused Start" setting in the selected Slideshow Style.
  • Play from Location: This option starts the slideshow from a selected item. If the slideshow has synchronized music, it will start the music at a point that ensures it ends exactly when the slideshow does. You must have an item selected for this option to be enabled. This option can also be accessed by right-clicking on a slide in your slideshow timeline.
  • Play Looped: This mode loops the slideshow continuously until you choose to stop it.
Presentation Mode

When in Presentation Mode, the slideshow will always play on the presentation screen. The slideshow control panel will be visible on the main screen.
