Fixed Timing: Viewers have no control over the speed at which the movie advances;
the movie plays using the timing you specify in the next step.

If you choose Fixed Timing, specify how long slides appear and the how long it takes to

complete object builds by typing values in the Slide Duration and Build Duration fields.
Slide Duration: How long each fully built slide remains on the screen after the last
object build is complete.
Build Duration: The number of seconds between the beginning of one build stage
and the next in each object build. There is no delay between the moment a slide first
appears on the screen and the first stage of an object build.

checkboxes.

Click Send, type a filename, specify a location (if you don’t want to store the movie in

your Movies folder), and then click Export.

Creating an iPhoto Album

You can turn your slideshow into an iPhoto album, with each slide a separate
image file.

To create an iPhoto album of a slideshow:

Specify whether to create a file for every slide or only a range of slides.

3

To create a separate image for each build stage, select “Create an image for each stage

of builds.”

The better the quality is, the larger the file size is.

low and high quality.

Click Next, type a name for your album, and click Send.

If iPhoto was not already open, it opens; your new album appears at the bottom
of the list.

Exporting to iWeb

If you use (or intend to use) iWeb to create a website, you can send your slideshow to
iWeb so that your website visitors can download and view it as a PDF file, a Keynote
document, or a video podcast. Your slideshow is added as a blog or podcast entry.

To send your slideshow to iWeb:

Make sure you have iWeb ’08 or later installed.
