Creating a slide show
A slide show composed of still images and an accompanying soundtrack can be an excellent way to show off
your pictures. You can insert multiple images to instantly create a slide show, complete with crossfades.
Importing high-resolution still images and using panning, cropping, and track motion tools can add interest
to an otherwise static slide show. For more information, see Cropping video on page 223 and Adding track motion
on page 281.
