This article outlines all the features in our slideshow module.
Design Slideshow
From the drop down menu under Slideshow Content, select the type of slides to be added. Below are descriptions about each option.

Slideshow Options
Slideshow Style
Beat Match
A beat matched slideshow will transition your images based on the beats in the music.
Timed Cross Fades
Timed cross fade slideshows will display the images for the time chosen and will gradually transition into the next image.
Timing
Beat Match Timing
For each beat-matched slideshow, the number of beats is determined by the slideshow content and the music's rhythm. In the dropdown menu, select the beats on which the images will change. Options include All Beats, Skip 4th Beat, Beats 1 & 3, Beats 2 & 4, Beats 1 & 2, or Skip 1st Beat. The speed of each slide can also be adjusted to 100%, 50%, 33%, or 25%. This setting can be customized based on the slide type or applied universally to all slides.
Timed Cross Fades
For each timed cross fade slideshow, the length of the slideshow for the slides will be shown as well as the length of time for the currently selected music. Select Match Music for the slideshow to be the same length as the currently music. The speed of each slide can also be adjusted by the second. This setting can be customized based on the slide type or applied universally to all slides.
Other Options
Other options available for each slideshow are showing file names on images and designs. The OpenGL toggle can be used if you notice timing or graphics issues in your slideshow. The background color is also adjusted in this section.
