Selecting transitions

By default, transitions are inserted between pictures in your story. You can specify the number of seconds a transition will display or you can let Photo Story set the duration automatically.

To select a transition

  1. On the Narrate your pictures and customize motion page, click the picture for which you want to select a transition, and then click Customize Motion.
  2. Click the Transition tab.
  3. If necessary, select the Start current picture using a transition check box.
  4. In the Transitions box, click a transition.
  5. If you want to specify the number of seconds the transition will be displayed when your story is played, select the Number of seconds to display the transition option, and then type or select the number of seconds you want the transition to display. Note that the number of seconds that the transition displays between two pictures cannot be more than the shorter display time of one of the two pictures.
  6. Click Save to save the motion and duration changes you made.
  7. To preview your story with the panning and zooming effects and transitions, click Preview.
  8. When you are done selecting transitions for the pictures in your story, click Close.
