Add the slides

Make a Slides source from a PDF or a folder of images, and turn its pages during the show.

Put the show’s slides in a Slides source, so the program shows the page the presenter is at. See Images and slides.

Before you start

Export the slides from your presentation app as a PDF, or as a folder of images with one image per slide, named so they sort in order.
Decide whether to export each build as a page of its own.
Open the show in the Studio.

Step 1: Add the slides

Click Add Source at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Slides…. Choose the PDF, or the folder of images. The slides appear in the Images group.

The bottom of the sources sidebar: the picture-size slider and Add Source, which opens the menu of source types

If the show already has a Slides stand-in, link it instead: right-click its tile and choose Link to Something Else › Slides…. Every slide shot then uses them. See Link a stand-in.

Step 2: Say whether pages include builds

Select the slides. In the inspector’s Slides section, turn Pages Include Builds on if you exported one page per build. Pages shows how many pages there are.

The inspector’s Slides section: Pages Include Builds, Pages, and Slides with Choose Another…

To use another file later, click Choose Another….

Step 3: Put the slides in a shot

Drag the slides’ tile onto a layer strip, or use New Shot in Layer in its context menu. In a show with a script, Suggest Setup Changes in the Script window offers the slide shots.

Step 4: Turn the slides

During the show, turn the slides as the presenter reaches each slide mark: Script › Slides One Click On (⌃⌘]) or Slides One Click Back (⌃⌘[), the slide keys on the Stream Deck, or the ‹ › arrows on the phone remote.

Verify

Take the slides’ shot and choose Script › Slides One Click On. The program shows the next page while the shot stays live.
