ok... so.. the "BAM-BAM-BAM" I see in some slideshows is done in SIW??? And I have had this, and never knew I could do it? Can someone explain it to me?? How ya do it?

TIA

Are you talking about quick transitions between slides to go with the music? If so you just make the template yourself. It's super easy which is the beauty of this software.

1. Click on the timing tab.
2. Choose a song.
3. Click on the Record Timing sub tab.
4. Click on the 0s in the timing on left to get to start of song.
5. Click on record and click OK on the popup.
6. The music will start to play. Each time you press the spacebar it will add a slide transition point in the time line.
7. Once you get to the end of the song click on STOP and then APPLY
8. From here I go back to MUSIC and TEMPLATES sub tab before I do anything else.
9. Click in the box down below labeled "Save Current Shows Timing..." and type in a name to match the song and save it.

I've run into problems where it sometimes adds time into the timeline when you mess with it. Saving here keeps a good copy of the timeline that you can reapply if needed.

10. Click on your new timing template and click the APPLY button to the right click on the Save and Preview button and watch the show to see if you are happy with it.

11. If you don't like it you can do it again. Pay attention to the song and the time and you can just re-record part of it if you want. Just click in the timeline under the Record Timing sub tab where you want to start recording again from. This might keep you from having to do the whole thing again.

Resave it each time with the same name as the first one and keep trying till you get it how you want it.

Hopefully I didn't miss anything here.
