Changing Show Defaults

The last section of the Preferences window deals exclusively with the
defaults that are used in all of the shows you create. These defaults include
things like the standard times used for Slide Time and Transition Time as
well as the default motion types that are used.

The Time Format for Timelines pane gives you the ability to choose how
you want time to be displayed in your every timeline in the program. This
includes the Slide List, Timeline, Audio Trimmer, Video Trimmer, and all
Keyframe Timelines.

By default ProShow will display time in minutes: seconds format. If you
prefer to work only with seconds you can check the option to enable it. This
will cause all times to be displayed only in seconds.

The Default Slide Settings pane has various options that control what is
used when you create new slides without changing any values.
The Slide Duration is the standard time that will be used for the first new
15
slide you add to a show . The default is 3 seconds. You can change this
value to whatever you want. Do you generally make fast-paced shows?
Reduce the default time.
