Using Slide Options & Transitions in iWork

Video Transcript

"Hey everybody! My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. I'm going to bring my inspector and select the slide tab at the top, and then make sure the transition is selected. I'm going to select my first slide over here on the left. You'll see it over here in the inspector. Now, underneath effects, you can click there and you get a long list of different transition effects that you can add to your slides. I'm going to select confetti. To the right of it, it says duration. This is the duration of the actual transition. I'm going to put it in 3 seconds. Underneath that, it says direction. I'm going to add gravity. This is specific to the confetti effect. It adds some gravity to the confetti. Now, underneath where it says start transition, it says on click. What this means is my slide is going to wait for me to click my mouse button to go on to the next side. If you want, you can come down and select automatically. You can select a delay for your slide. Select 3 seconds so my slide is going to be up for 3 seconds before it changes. You can come in and select different slides and add the effects to them separately. When you want to see your slideshow, make sure that your first slide is selected. I'm going to come up to view and select play slideshow. You'll see it shows my first slide and after 3 seconds, it's going to give me confetti effect into the second one. Now it's going to wait for me to click my mouse button. When I do it, it takes me to my last slide. To get out of your slideshow, just hit the escape key. "
