How to Create Slideshows in Shotcut

How helpful do you find the built-in slideshow cretor in Shotcut?

I'm quite new to shotcut. I have just made a slideshow before seeing this easy method. I like the zoom ins on each of the images.... is there an "easy" way to zoom out on certain images though after it is made. Thanks for the vid'

Hey dude! good job! I wonder if you have a video on adding text and music - demonstrating the final cut.

The "add selected to slideshow" option that should be right under "add selected to timeline" is mysteriously absent for me. Am I doing something wrong? I feel dumb.
EDIT: Just needed to update the software.

How do I insert different videos for each image ? Is that possible? great work btw

Really helpful video!

Wow, I have so been doing this the hard way. OMG, I can't believe how easy it is.

How do I share to instagram? Can it be done from the free version?

this tool should speed up video editing so much!

That is so helpful, thank you! Is there an easy way to copy and paste the photos so that they fit the length of the audio rather than vice versa? It's for an interview so I thought I'd repeat the images a few times.

Thank you!

Thanks

Shotcut refuses to put the music under the image. Instead it puts the music before, or after the slideshow. Why?!?

Gosh, it's so complicated and unintuitive! I never know what to do or where to click. Great video though. Thank you.

Is there a limit on how many photo's you can use to make one slideshow? I have 260 photos of Copenhagen and wonder whether this will be too many to handle!

My version, 22.10.25 does not have the menu lines to begin this process! what i can do?? :(

Thanks so much Joe for sharing this! Do you mind telling me how your voice is so clear. I basically hear no background noise at all. No matter how hard I try or how many devices and mics I buy I can never accomplish this even with an audio interface that I once tested too.

My version, 22.10.25 does not have the menu lines to begin this process!

Wonderful Joe, the answer was in the app but as one gets to know the 'lay of the land' on how to use Shotcut efficiently it becomes apparent! The softeware is so comprehensive, it takes time to know all the 'bells and whistles' so to speak!!! Appreciate the help!!

This was very helpful and saved me loads of time! Thank you!

I have just downloaded Shotcut, I have watched a few tutorials and there is no mention of adding text over an image, can this be done?
I am going to have a play with it later today.

Thnkyou

Explanation of important details not mentioned in other tutorials. I still have an important question: How do you proceed if you have added photos using the "Add to slide show" function and subsequently edit them (e.g. change the display duration, transitions or dynamic zoom of individual images, etc.) or new source material (photos or videos) between those already in the timeline want to insert existing photos? All my attempts in this regard have so far caused chaos in the course of the video editing.

Thank you Joe, very helpful!!! Do you know what the maximum time is for each picture? I want around 10 min each for a gallery TV I am setting up.

I get clicks and skips at each of the image transition points. A single audio of original music in wav format. Tried adjusting gain, adding compression, no difference. Any idea what's happening? Using current version. Thanks.
