Changing Slide and Transition Times

Once you have an image in place, take a look at the slide. You’ll notice that
it displays a thumbnail of the image, the slide number, and two values.
These, by default, should by say 3.0.

These time values are referring to seconds. The number at the bottom of
your slide is your Slide Time or the length of time the slide is going to be
displayed. Again, by default, this is 3 seconds. The number to the right of
the slide is the Transition Time, or the amount of time it will take for this
slide to transition into the next slide.

Each slide will always have two time values. In this example, it means that
the total time for your first slide is 6 seconds -the slide time, plus the
transition time. If you want your slide to be longer or shorter, you can
adjust either time by clicking on the value and typing in any number you
want. Remember that the time is calculated in seconds.
Note: the 6 second total time is a default because it works well when used
with a wide variety of effects and soundtracks. It’s generally just enough
time to see a slide and appreciate the contents of a slide before moving on
to another one.
