Thank you for this tutorial. I have been trying to do a PPT slideshow for my mom's funeral and was feeling overwhelmed by the whole thing. I needed someone to go through this step by step with me; my brain just isn't working like I want it to. Thank you for making it easier.
Oh I'm so glad! It can be such an overwhelming process, emotionally and physically (scanning, taking pictures of pictures, etc). Feel free to email any time at info@newnarrative.ca if we can help ❤
great video with lot's of great tips. As someone you teaches presentation skills for a living, you're great. One tip is to really shorten this down, get to the software within the first 90-120 seconds.
trying to add my transitions. When I right click on the first picture, there is no "select all" option. When I just click on "transitions" there is only the one option of time duration, and no check box for "mouse click." I can't get it to play without clicking the mouse.
Ugh - PPT used to allow you to add an album that put a picture on each slide. That doesn't seem to exist any more for PPT for Mac (source: I made our wedding slide show 15 years ago on a PC with PPT and it was sooooo easy). I will be using Keynote after all, at least to start because I will have hundreds of pics!
Hi @susan1098 - Please accept my condolences on hearing about the loss of your sister. Personally, I find that 5 seconds per picture is a good amount. With that logic, you can get 12 photos per 60 seconds. So, if you have around 30 photos, the video will be around 2 -3 minutes. I hope this helps!

You'd be surprised how fast the slideshow actually goes! In my opinion, if you have many photos, 5s is just enough time to view the photo briefly before moving on. Having lots of musical variety helps as well!
