Live Shows

The ability to make a Live Show is another feature that is unique
Executable output. A Live Show functions the same as a normal show,
with one exception...a Live Show can dynamically pull images from a folder
on your hard drive as the show plays. Perfect for event photography, or a
photo studio. This allows you to change images as the show plays, without
the need to stop and rebuild the show.

Live Shows use Live Images
When you make a Live Show, what you're really doing is including Live
Images in your show. Live images are assigned on a per layer basis. This
means that one layer on your slide can be live while the others are normal
pre-selected image or video layers.

Any layer you create on a slide can become a Live Image and live images
will work with masks or adjustment layers just like any other image layer
will.

To Create a Live Image Layer
1. Create a new slide with any image or video.

2. Double-click on the slide to open the Slide Options window.
3. Select the layer in your slide that you want to become a Live
Image, then click the Layer Settings tabs.
4. Check the Live Image box in the Layer Type pane.
