Place all the images you wish to use in your slideshow in a single folder. Label the images with a common name followed by sequential numbers in the order you wish them to appear in your slideshow (in this example: waterski01.jpg, waterski02.jpg, waterski03.jpg, etc...).

Step 3
An “Image Sequence Settings” dialog box now appears. Select the amount of time for each image to appear by choosing a frame rate and then clicking the “OK” button. You do not have to repeat steps 2 and 3 for each image.

Typically, keep images on screen for about 3 seconds per frame.










Step 4
A progress bar will appear as QuickTime automatically imports all your images. After the images are imported, you’re ready to save your slideshow.

Select Save from the File menu. A “Save” dialog box will appear. Enter the name of your slideshow in the “New file name” box. Next, select the radio button labeled “Make movie self-contained” and then click the “Save” button.




Click on the image to see the slideshow.

Step 4
Congratulations! You’re finished. Your slideshow is now ready for playback. Simply press the Play button in the QuickTime Player to view the results.
