"Hey everybody! My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Make sure you're underneath your composition settings again. I'm going to minimize my timing tab that we learned about last lesson and bring down my basic settings. From here, you can change a lot of the settings that have to do with your pictures. If you want to scroll forward to one of your pictures. You can adjust the image size by changing this scroll bar here. You can go from small to big and anywhere in between. Below that is image spread. You can change how far apart your pictures are from close to far and in between there as well. You can change the background. Right now I've got a texture selected and it's wood. You can change that to chalkboard or fabric. If you just wanted a basic color, you can select solid color and choose your color to the right of there. I'm going to go back to the fabric texture. You can also change the width of the frame around your picture with scroll bar here. Below that, you can change the color of the frame as well. If you add text, if you add notes, or the name of the file, you can change the text color there and you can also change the shadow. You can add a drop shadow to that text as well. At the bottom of your basic settings, it says opening and you've got your fade in or curtain selection you can change. That's going to adjust how your intro fades in. If I select curtain, as you can see, it comes in like a curtain. If I select fade in, it's just going to do a basic fade there at the beginning. You can also change the timing of that with the timing scroll bar as well."
