I have now dropped my photos onto the slide creator and am looking to
1. loop the show on a continuous basis until I stop it
2. Have all photos of the same duration during each run.
Please advise how I can do this.
Cheers

2) You can set the default photo duration in the program's preferences.

1) How are you going to play your video? On a DVD? On a projector attached to a laptop?

I don't know of a way to create a looping file but, depending on what software or hardware you're using the play your movie, there are loop settings available in the player. (The Repeat function on a DVD player, for instance.)

  1. The looping or repeat function is in the viewer or player you choose. You could try to create a file long enough to say play 10 years until you stop it as an alternative.

  2. The slideshow templates you choose may have time duration settings in Customize. Click that button to find out. I know Motion and Highlight has it.
