Applying transitions in slide show ?

After arranging pics in timeline, is there a way to have the PD10 automatically apply transitions only to the pics, without using the Magic Movie Wiz? Or do they have to be applied individually? We are looking at a slide show of over 300 pics, and doing them all individually will take quite some time. We have our own music for the show, and do not want the program to automatically apply / pick music for us.

Also, when applying transitions, do the transitions increase the run time of the show, or is the run time only dependent upon the length of each individual slide, and the transitions are not taken into account?

Thank you.

How to do it is well hidden. See attachment. Ignore the word "Video" it also works for images. It says fades because I have a fade type transition as my favorite.

It depends on the type of transition some will even shorten the length of the show. Play with the type of transition to get what each does. Read the second file from the help menu. Sorry about what it looks like.

Thank you for your contribution; I will take a closer look at your listed download instructions.

Is this limited to a single transition type, or can multiple / assorted transitions be applied simultaneously to the entire timeline of pics?

Thank you again.

'You asked "Is this limited to a single transition type, or can multiple / assorted transitions be applied simultaneously to the entire timeline of pics? "

If you looked at the posted image, you would have seen the options - random, fade, etc.

Please at least open the image and look at it before asking a questions that the image would have answered.

The PD10 transition applies to everything in the timeline, what I do in this case, pictures in a band, videos in another band at the end with everything in range (1) or not.
The use of two or more bands, can lock the band that will not apply transition.
