How To

Creating a slideshow

Creating a Pictage Slideshow is incredibly easy:

1. Click on the Create Slideshow button within your event.
2. Select a folder or category to assign to your slideshow.
3. Customize your slideshow by specifying a song, duration, slide length, etc.
4. Click on Publish Slideshow.

Sharing the slideshow

After a slideshow is published, there are several ways of sharing it:

» Embed code (expires with event)

This code expires when the event expires so that upon event expiration, the slideshow will not play (the viewer is presented with a message stating the event is expired). We recommend you use this code if event expiration is crucial to the marketing of the event.

1. At the slideshow Share page, select the dimension of the slideshow you want to display.
2. Copy the generated code into your blog, website, etc.

» Embed code (no expiration)

This code does not expire when the event expires. This is best used for promotional events such as portfolio events embedded in your blog.

1. At the slideshow Share page, select the dimension of the slideshow you want to display.
2. Copy the generated code into your blog, website, etc.

» Slideshow URL

This is a direct link to a stand-alone slideshow. Note that this will always expire with the event.

At the slideshow Share page, copy the URL and paste it into an email, instant message, etc.

» Email

1. Specify an email recipient. For your convenience, we have automatically set this to your client(s).
2. Enter a subject for the email.
3. Type an optional message.
4. If you want your logo to show in the email, click on the Use My Logo checkbox.
