The 9 slide shows in PD are interesting. Even though they can be edited to some degree, I'm not finding a way to customize them as thoroughly as I'd like. Maybe there are more available which are more open-ended in the way they can be edited.

I looked through the Director's Zone, and downloaded what I thought were slide shows, but they turned out to be either titles or frames.

Any more available?

Hi rbowser,

Tony, as in ynotfish, is more or less the "master" of customising slideshows in here.
Also, Bubba does a lot of slideshows.
While you wait for Tony to come on the forum,
why don't you read http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/17146.page#86837

Well...sort of.
There was a flurry of activity a few months ago concerning user-made frames and backgrounds in 2 of the slideshow styles.
You'd have to make your images, etc, and insert them into the program files of PD.
Some of us even made simple auto-installers to make it easier.
This is another link, for the 3D slideshow.

I firmly believe that slideshow modifications should be part of DirectorZone.

Hi rbowser -

You might be interested in looking at these PDtoots tutorials, which show how PD's slideshow templates can be customised with or without other software...

And thank you, Barry and Tony - I see there's some digging in to do for customizing the slideshows, but it's great to see it's possible. Thanks for all the links!
