Slideshow projects are navigable presentations rather than ordinary linear videos. The Slideshow tab appears in the right panel when the active composition contains a slideshow. Use it to manage:
  • slides;
  • speaker notes;
  • fragment reveals;
  • how long a fragment holds;
  • branches to different slides;
  • clickable hotspots.

Build the basic path first

Create a clear beginning-to-end presentation before adding branches. Confirm that normal next and previous navigation works and that every slide has a meaningful role.

Add fragment reveals

Fragments reveal content within a slide. Use them to control attention, not to make every bullet animate separately. Check the hold time when a slideshow may also be played or rendered automatically.

Add branches and hotspots

Use branches when the viewer genuinely needs a different path. Add hotspots to the visible object that represents the choice, then test every destination and return path. Keep a way forward from every branch. A beautiful slide that traps the viewer is still broken navigation. Use the /slideshow agent workflow when you want help planning and building the full deck.
