Slideshow
A Slideshow element cycles through every image in a folder on a timer, with an optional GPU transition between slides. Great for sponsor loops, photo montages, pre‑show idents, and rolling announcements.
Add it: Add Element → Slideshow…, then pick an image folder and a per‑slide interval.
Setting it up
When you create a slideshow you choose:
- Image folder — every supported image in it (PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, WebP), sorted by filename, becomes a slide.
- Seconds per slide — how long each image holds before advancing (1–60 s).
The slideshow then loops through the folder for as long as it's on a deck.
Transition effects
Between slides the slideshow can run a hardware‑accelerated transition. The available effects are:
| Effect | Look |
|---|---|
| None (hard cut) | Instant switch, no animation. |
| Cube 3D | Slides rotate on a 3D cube. |
| Flip 3D | The frame flips over in perspective. |
| Page Curl | The current slide peels away like a page. |
| Doorway | The new slide opens through a doorway. |
| Cross Zoom | Zoom blur from one slide into the next. |
| Ripple | A ripple distortion reveals the next slide. |
| Glitch | A digital glitch wipe. |
| Mosaic Flip | Tiles flip across the frame. |
| Swirl | The image swirls into the next. |
Each transition also has its own duration (defaulting to around 0.8 s), separate from the per‑slide hold time.
What it can do
- Runs continuously on a deck like any live source.
- Transform and position on a canvas via the card's inline Transform controls.
- Combine two slideshows on the A and B decks and crossfade between them for a layered photo wall.
