File Size

Karen-Clinkinbeard wrote on 7/3/2020, 11:12 PM

Is there a limit to the number of slides and the size of the file for a slideshow? I make my slides in Photoshop. Most slides are around 1MB. I am planning to make a show and have 231 slides. After adding music as well, the file will be pretty large. Just wondering if there is a size limit or if it would be better to split the show into two parts. Thanks for your help!

Hi

. . . . I am planning to make a show and have 231 slides . . . .

There should be no problem with that number of images, the only limiting factor is the total length of the slide show, however this is measured in hours - 4 hrs seems to be the maximum.

I have absolutely no doubt that a slideshow of 231 slides around 1 MB each will cause no problems to PS! (Which version, by the way?)

I recently created a slideshow for a client, similar number of slides, with music, played on the timeline without problem, exported to DVD, again without problem.
