Slideshow projects are navigable presentations rather than ordinary linear videos. The Slideshow tab appears in the right panel when the active composition contains a slideshow. Use it to manage:
  • slides;
  • speaker notes;
  • fragment reveals;
  • how long a fragment holds;
  • branches to different slides;
  • clickable hotspots.

Build the basic path first

Create a clear beginning-to-end presentation before adding branches. Confirm that normal next and previous navigation works and that every slide has a meaningful role.

Add fragment reveals

Fragments reveal content within a slide. Use them to control attention, not to make every bullet animate separately. Check that each reveal leaves the presenter enough time to explain the point.

Add branches and hotspots

Use branches when the viewer genuinely needs a different path. Add hotspots to the visible object that represents the choice, then test every destination and return path. Keep a way forward from every branch. A beautiful slide that traps the viewer is still broken navigation. Use the /slideshow agent workflow when you want help planning and building the full deck.
