 +~~NOTOC~~
  
 +====== Transition Options ======
 +
 +The //​Transition Options// inspector lets you select type, duration, and other parameters for the transitions between slides. To change the transition for multiple slides at once, select the slides in the //​Storyboard/​Timeline//​ and choose the desired transition type in the Transition Options inspector. Depending on the type, additional parameters are shown as appropriate.

 +
 +<​HTML><​div class='​note'>​ The Transition Options inspector opens automatically when you double-click a transition in the Storyboard/​Timeline.</​div></​HTML>​
 +
 +
 +===== Type =====
 +
 +Choose from a list of several transition categories. Many transitions can be customized with additional parameters.
 +
 +<​HTML><​div class='​note'>​The transition type affects both image and audio. For example, if you use a dissolve transition, and below that transition are two consecutive audio items in the Storyboard/​Timeline,​ those audio items will be crossfaded. The table below lists each transition type and how it affects image and audio.</​div></​HTML>​
 +
 +
 +===== Duration =====
 +
 +Drag the Duration slider to set the time that the transition will take to complete. Changing the transition duration does not change the total duration of the slideshow. In Timeline view, you can see the width of the transition interval updating in real-time.
 +
 +<​HTML><​div class='​tip'>​The transition duration cannot be longer than the slide duration. If you want a longer transition duration, you also need to increase the slide duration. Please pay attention to yellow warning triangles in the Storyboard/​Timeline and click on them to read the explanation why some duration combinations are problematic.</​div></​HTML>​
 +
 +
 +===== Other Options =====
 +
 +Depending on the type of transition, you may get options like direction, softness, amount, or 3D. Use these parameters to further customize your transition.
