I was trying out Slideshow to show pictures with normal setting and have not figured out how to have the pictures switch between pictures so they fade in and out nicely.

I picked Slideshow creation first then selected all my pictures then went thru the quick Slideshow process.

1) How do I get to Effect and Aspect Ratio in my slide show processing?
2) How do I get pictures to fade in and out so they are not all jumpy
3) Should I pull in all my pictures first, do all my fade and text editing?
4) Not sure how to put texts in some pictures
5) Should I pick slide show once I have all the other editing completed?
6) When the video is played some of the smaller pictures when made larger are all fuzzy - how do I correct?

Have no music I am including in the videos - just pictures and text for a celebration of life for a family member who passed away. Want to create an awesome picture video.

I am very new using this software.
