Thank you so much for answering my questions on a video after addressing my question to the audience.

You have a wonderful way to present quickly materials.

Can’t say enough “Thank You”! Enjoy your day.

Hey, I am finding your videos an amazing help.
I’m creating a slide show of our once in a lifetime holiday and would like to know how to be able to edit the music and know what’s playing where without having to watch the whole thing or export it. It’s for personnel use only and about 30 mins long. So for example I want to be able to see and hear and the edit what songs start and finish where? And hear what lyrics are on particular photos without having to sit and watch the whole thing each time. Does this make sense? If I play and skip to certain slides it doesn’t seem to jump the music to whet it will be? Can you help please? Anna

Great Presentation! How to export slideshow to SHARED ALBUM, straight from Project?

[EstherLWarda]

I love your channel!!! You have a knack for teaching. Easy to understand and follow along.

I just finished creating my slideshow and by the time I uploaded to youtube, the photos were blurry. Horrible resolution. I'm so disappointed!! It took me days What can be the reason for that?

Hi - Is there a way to change text color or location in image? Thank you.

[tomimaging]

Ivan, Great presentations, I like your pace and info flow. I am creating a slideshow of old family photos where most viewers will not know the names of people in images. I need to create a text box under each person to identify them. I would also like to reposition the text box in the image. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Ivan well explained but what i wanted to do was simply move my text to the top of the Photo, thought that would be simple but looks like i can't!! Cheers

Hey Ivan! Was just playing some of my slideshows from the past few years today - and instead of the captions being fully centered, they are now aligned left! Which isn't a big issue for the normal color, but I have several (dozens/hundreds) where I adjusted the color if it was on a light background. And the background on many of the captions is now black over on the side - so the captions can't be seen. Any idea if this is some type of bug/issue with a Photos update?

Hi Ivan,

When I press enter to make my text on two lines, the text goes below however the text box size doesn't change therefore I can no longer see the text.

Any ideas?

hi Ivan

late compilation of slide show today and am struggling to play the video in the slide, how do I fix that?

[thenomadfoundation]

Can I add the same text to multiple slides at once

[peterlau]

Hi Ivan how do I add text at the end of the last photo

[brianburgess]

when I try to delete the text, it deletes the photo next to it instead, any tips for this?
