Certain actions require a destination, such as the Open URL action. You
need to enter the full address of the website you want to open in the
Destination field so that ProShow knows where to go when the action is
triggered.

The action would look something like this:

• Action: Open URL
• Destination: http://www.photodex.com

Other actions share a similar structure. For example, opening a program:

• Action: Run Program
• Destination:
C:\Program Files\Photodex\ProShowProducer\proshow.exe

It’s important to note that these features only work when you’re creating an
Executable or Presenter-based version of the show. DVD, Blu-ray and all
other types of video files can’t interact in this way. You must be using
Presenter-based output to place actions in your show.

You can read more about Presenter and which output types use it in
Chapter 21.

Manual Control
Another option for interacting with your show is to enable the Manual
Control option. This option automatically pauses the slide at the end and
waits for your input.

This feature is more specifically designed for giving presentations or
creating shows that your user interacts with more than the Action at End of
Slide option.
