Collage

Title

Here you can enter the title for the collage. It serves for a better overview in large slideshows.

Aspect ratio

Images have an aspect ratio which is comprised of the height and width of the image. If a created collage differs from the aspect ration of the slideshow you can here decide how to display the  collage.

Keep: The collage retains borders when being played back.

Crop: Parts are cropped from the edge of the collage until the collage fits into the correct aspect ratio without edges emerging.

Distort: The collage is inserted into the aspect ratio of the slideshow, whereby a distortion of the image takes place.

Alignment

Determines the position of the Collage on the screen.

Rotate in direction of movement

If you assigned a movement path to a collage  you can let the collage automatically rotate along the path. This function is only available in AquaSoft ® SlideShow Ultimate and Blue Net.

Fill background

On = Background gets a color filling when display size of the collage is reduced.

Off = Background doesn't get a filling and the previous object "looks through". For images inside collages or Picture-in-Picture effects it has to be Off.

Automatic = The slideshow sets filling to On automatically for images/videos/collages in the first track. If you move an object to the second or a lower track filling will be set to Off. This way Picture-in-Picture effects can be created quickly. If  you want to the value to remain select it from the drop-down box.

Transition

Here the Transition can be set or also deselected. For that purpose, in the drop-down list there is None as the first option. With the Adjust button, the transitions can be configured. You can also obtain a preview of all transitions there.
