Inserting a Slideshow

VEGAS Pro offers the Slideshow Creator, where you can create slideshows of still photos in seconds. Just choose your photos and decide on a few details.

  • Open the Slideshow Creator and select your Photos.

    1. In the VEGAS Pro menu bar, go to Insert | Slideshow, or right-click in a video track and choose Insert Slideshow. The Slideshow Creator window appears with the Pictures tab open by default.

    2. Click either the Add Pictures text or the folder icon in the upper left. In the Open window, go to the folder which contains your images.

    3. Select all the images, or CTRL-click to pick individual images. Click Open. The Slideshow Creator window populates with the images you chose.

  • Adjust your Photos

    Arrange the sequence to your preference. You can drag individual images into a custom order, or you can use buttons for automatic arrangement.

    If you need to remove a photo, select it and click the Delete button.
    Click Rotate Counterclockwise or Rotate Clockwise to change the orientation of any selected images.
    Click Move Selected -1 to move selected images ahead by one in the sequence. Click Move Selected +1 to move them further back by one.
    Click Sort A to Z or Sort Z to A for alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order.
    Click Sort New to Old or Sort Old to New for chronological or reverse chronological order.
    Click Shuffle for random order.

  • Set Photo Length and Transition Style

    Click the Settings tab.

    Slideshow Placement Under Slideshow Placement, choose if you want your slideshow to begin at the timeline cursor, or type in an exact frame on the timeline where you’d like the slideshow to begin.
    Duration Set the length you want each photo to be on the screen. You can also type in an exact length for your slideshow. The Slideshow Creator automatically adjusts the duration of each photo proportionally so the sequence fits within the time you defined.
    Effects Click the Effects drop-down menu in the Effects box, which shows your choices for the transition style between images. You can choose styles which add pan and/or zoom animation to your images automatically. If you choose a specific style, all of the transitions in the slideshow will be that style. If you’d like mixed transitions, choose Random. Define the length of transition between images with the Overlap value.

  • Click Create. Within seconds, your slideshow appears on the timeline at the point you chose under Slideshow Placement.
