Do a visual storytelling with a Photo Slideshow

Do a visual storytelling with a Photo Slideshow

Slideshows are a great way to focus your audience’s attention on one photo at a time. Paired with the power of the Ken Burns effect, slideshows can be engaging and attention-grabbing. With CustomShow, you can create slideshows using photos in your presentation, and choose exactly how long you want each to show for, and if it plays automatically or on click.

  • Add a Textbox and a Rectangle Shape to the slide
  • Drag-and-drop the Images
  • In Slide properties select the Background color for the slide (Try – #EEECE9)

  • Select the Rectangle which will become a frame for Image Slideshow
  • Set the width and height in Position properties (Try – W:700, H:1000)
  • Provide color in Fill (Try – #DADAD8)

  • Select the Image
  • Position and give proper size in Position properties (Try – W:690, H:990)
  • To give Ken Burns style animation, select an image, and click on Build on the top bar.

  • In Build Out, choose effect ‘Blur’, Build Order: 2, Start: After Previous, Duration: 1 sec, Delay: 0 sec, Easing: Linear
