5. Understanding ProShow
ProShow Explained
It’s important to understand how ProShow works if you’re going to really
grasp the assembling of shows and timing effects. First, we’ll take a look at
how slide times are tied together with other elements in the slide. Later,
we'll move on to some advanced concepts that deal with your slides and
with your shows as a whole. Next, we’ll cover how ProShow stores your
shows and uses all of files that you include in the shows you build.
What’s in a Show
Before you get too far into creating and customizing slides, let’s take a
moment to look at exactly what makes up a show. It may seem obvious, but
understanding the elements of a show and how they relate is an essential
first step.
A show is made up of slides. There’s no limit on the number of slides.
• Each slide has its own time that controls how long the slide is
visible.
• Between slides are transitions, which control how slides blend
together. Each transition has its own time and effect.
• Slides are made up of layers, captions, a background and
optionally, a slide sound.
