Presentation (Slides & Layers)

A presentation can be built according to the guide seen here.

For playing a presentation, you can use the left/right arrow of the keyboard (if you haven’t changed the default keyboard shortcuts), to move forwards and backwards in the slide deck. At startup, when a presentation is loaded, no slides other then master layers should ideally be visible (good practice before saving the presentation), as seen in the left image below. Notice that the “pre-load icon” to the right of “Slides:”, always is red at startup. This is so pre-loading does not occur if the presentation is not suppose to be used, even if loaded at startup.

As seen in the middle image, when pressing the “Pre-Load” button, it turns green and all slides shift from Red to Orange, which means that the slides, and i.e. the layers are loaded, but not yet visible. When a slide is triggered and the layers become visible, they turn Green. If a slide contains both visible and non-visible layers, two colors might show in the slide, as indicated in the image below to the right.

       

In the “Visibility” window, you can ask layers to be visible during multiple slides, which may come handy, if you want a background media to be visible during a set number of slides, to fade in layers one-by-one onto your screen.

For changing the presentation timings, this is made in the “Settings -> Configure -> Presentation”, as seen here.
