PhotoStory Easy 2 transition between slides

How do I have the transition FADE IN for all 90 of my slides? I have it for the first slide. It does not appear as one of the 3 main options when I select the transition point for the other slides. The main options appear to be CUT, CROSSFADE or FADE THROUGH BLACK. FADE IN does not appear on the list as an option. I want FADE IN for all slides. Help!

Assuming there are no gaps between the objects (slides?) on the timeline, the Fade in, and Fade out, only appear for the beginning of the first object and the end of the last object on the timeline, between the rest of the objects you have the three options you have found.

What do you want to happen at the end of each object before the next one fades in?

I would recommend you use the Fade through black - this is a more viewer friendly effect if you want the next object to fade in.

Thank you. I prefer the Fade IN after each slide rather than the Fade Through black. I find it much better for transitions. I lose. I find this software very quirky to use. I will probably not buy any Magix software again and will not recommend to anyone. I have had too many frustrating technical issues. The online Help manual is also incomplete and inadequate.

It is quirky, however it is not intended to be a full blown video editor there are other more advanced programs eg Movie Edit Pro to do this.

There is a trial version you can download and test for 30 days and give you much more control over transitions effects etc.
