Create beautiful slideshows highlighting your photos for your clients to view, download, and purchase. You can create as many slideshows as you'd like, with different aspect ratios, slide lengths, and transitions. If you have a Music plan with ShootProof, you can add music to your slideshows as well.
Create a Slideshow
You can create slideshows in any of your galleries by clicking the Create Slideshow in the top right corner. Give your slideshow a name, choose the format it's intended for, and click Create Slideshow.
For images to be available for your slideshow, they must be uploaded into your gallery. If you delete a photo from a gallery that's included in a slideshow, it will be deleted from the slideshow as well.
Your slideshow will start in Draft mode. Slideshows don't show in the client gallery until you publish them. It will autosave as you work on the slideshow.
Add Photos and Music
Go into the Photos tab and click Add Photos to choose photos from the gallery for your slideshow. Select photos by clicking individual photos, choose all the photos by clicking Select All in the top right corner, or add a group of photos by selecting photos while holding the Shift key. Once you select photos, choose Add to Timeline to add them directly to the slideshow timeline or Add to Slideshow to add them as options for your slideshow timeline. Click the back arrow next to Add Photos to get back to the slideshow editor.
In the Music tab, search through the catalog of songs from Triple Scoop Music by clicking Add Music. Search by name, keyword, mood, or click the Collections tab to search through themed collections. Add songs* by clicking on them and then click the back arrow next to Add Music to go back to the editor. Then you can drag your music into the slideshow and adjust the length by dragging the scrubber bars on either end.
*While you can add always music while you are creating slideshow, for slideshows to play music in the galleries you will need a music plan. You can sign up for a music plan by going to Galleries > Music for Galleries and clicking Start Music Plan in the top right corner.
Edit a Slideshow
Once you've added photos to the slideshow timeline, you can adjust the transitions, zoom options, and lengths of the slides. In the Edit tab, you can apply a timing preset to set a uniform slide duration for all of your slides. If you added music to your slideshow, you can also choose beat matching options from this drop-down menu
Optionally apply a watermark by toggling on the Use Watermark button. This will appear on all of the slides. If you want the slideshow to continuously play when viewed, toggle on Continuous Loop.
Click on a specific slide to change the slide duration and add cropping options.
Under Theme, set whether the slide will have a dark (black) or light (white) background. Adjust how long a slide shows with the Slide Duration drop-down. If you want all the slides to have the same duration, click Apply to All Slides.
You can adjust the cropping options for your slides as well.
- Fit is the image fit to frame
- Fill lets you crop the image within the frame
- Ken Burns lets you create a multiple point zoom, with a start and end point, and optional keyframes in-between
Click the transition icon between slides on your slideshow timeline to adjust the transition effect and duration. To apply the same effect and duration to all of your transitions, click Apply to All Transitions.
Publish a Slideshow
While you are working on your slideshow, it will autosave. If you're not ready to publish your slideshow to the gallery, you can click Save as Draft. Click Publish when you are ready for your slideshow to show in your gallery.
Once a slideshow is published to a gallery, you can click Convert to Draft to remove it from the gallery. You can edit your published slideshow and the changes will be reflected in the gallery when you click Publish Updates.
Slideshow Download Settings
Set up slideshow download permissions in your gallery by going to Settings > Free Digitals. Click Create New Rule and then choose who you want to be able to download: all visitors to this gallery, visitors to a specific album, or the Linked Contact.
In the Rule Settings tab, give the rule a name and set whether it requires a PIN and includes a print release.
In the Media Configurations tab, toggle on Slideshow Downloads and choose the size and amount that can be downloaded. You can also set slideshows to download with a watermark by toggling on Apply watermark to slideshow downloads.
