Changing slideshow options

From Phanfare Support

Table of contents

Overview

Phanfare includes a high quality web slideshow that will show your photos and videos, complete with captions, to a music soundtrack of your choosing, and transition between photos using the Ken Burns effect (panning and zooming). You control the slide show using the Phanfare desktop application. The slideshow is controlled on a per-album basis, and you can choose defaults for new albums.

To change the slideshow options for a particular album

You can control a variety of slideshow options including whether the Ken Burns effects (pan and zoom) are on, whether the slideshow should show photos and videos or just photos, whether the slideshow loops (restarts automatically when it comes to the end), how long each photo is displayed, and what music is played.
