How do I make a slide show?

If you want to create an image sequence which means that all the images are played sequentially at a certain frame rate then this is the process you can use.

  1. Drop the first image in your image sequence into the source viewer, the playlist panel, or use file>open file to open the first image in Shotcut.
  2. Once the image is opened check image sequence.

  3. The entire image sequence beginning with the first image will be loaded into Shotcut. If you have 500 images, all 500 will be loaded.
  4. The default frame rate for the sequence is one frame per picture.
  5. If you want to change the frames per picture, select the frame box, type in a new number, ie. 30. Press enter or click anywhere in the panel. This sets the number of frames to 30 per picture. The image sequence will be loaded again.

  6. Add the sequence to the playlist using the + icon or shift+A.
  7. Now you can add the sequence to the timeline.

The sequence will display each image for 30 frames then display the next image, and so on.
