Automatting the Cropping of Stills in a Slide Show

[George Tyndall]

Problem: In my current slide show, a number of the slides have a distracting white element to the far right.

Question: Must I open PSE7 and crop each of the slides, one-by-one?

Answer: No.

Solution:
--In Edit>Effects, drag the Crop effect to the first of the errant slides
--click Properties, then adjust the edges of the crop as desired
--click Apply
--right-click that first slide and click Copy
--drag-loop (correct term?) all the suceeding errant slides to select them
--right-click the selected group of slides, then click Paste Attributes and
--voila! all the errant slides are instantly adjusted

Nice tip, George!

[Ron Hunter]

Thanks George, that is really helpful! I'll remember that on my next slide show project.

Thanks George....

BTW, that technique is also useful for other repetitive tasks such as, say, adding a Fade In or Fade Out Video to a numbe of one's slides.
