Reverse, Pause or Forward

I have created a slide show of some photos for my Daughter-in-law. She was wandering and me also if there was a way to review former slides that she watched or move forward throught the future slides at a quicker pace until she finds the one she wants to see? Is this possible in to create in ProShow Gold so that a person can go forward and backward through the slides. Thank You in advance for any info you can give me. This is my first day and posting on this forum, I see I have a lot to learn about this program.

Hello,
when you say you have created a show can you tell me what output you have used. Did you create a DVD, a PC executable or upload to the Photodex site. This will help to answer this question.....

This was created on a DVD. She usually goes throught them with a DVD player and then gets me to print some of them. This is why I was wandering if it was possible to do these things with this program.

Welcome to the forum, glad you have found us.

If you have created a DVD for use on a DVD Player you are very much restricted to what you can do, just like a normal film DVD. The easiest way would be to use the DVD Player fast forward, or backwards, controls to get to the area of the show required.

If the show is of, say a wedding, it could be created in sections; prewedding, ceremony, reception, and a menu created to go to the particular section, or 'play all'.

If it is for the printing purpose, when you make the DVD you could use the "include all content" . That way she could view the pictures off the disc on her PC and let you know which ones she wanted printed. I don't think I am crazy, this would work righth Brian????

Thank you nannybear & briancbb, but is not the answer I was hoping for. My daughter in law does not have a computer so we were hoping that as she was veiwing the photo slides she could go back if she wanted to look at a photo again or else forward the slides through quicker to see the future slide a bit sooner them what the program was set for. If Proshow can not do this is there a program out there that can? Thank you for any info anyone can get me.

I think you may have misunderstood Brian's answer.

When you created the DVD, you created the equivalent of a movie. She can use the DVD player's control to do all of that--pause it, slow motion, etc. As far as I know, if her player can do it, then the function is there and usable for a DVD you created in ProShow.

Be aware that there are quite a number of DVD players out there
that if given a DVD or CD with folders full of jpg pictures will play
them as a slide show without any other "processing" on your part.
Just simply put all the pictures in a folder on the DVD and stick it
in the player -- many of them can handle that. Perhaps too simple,
but an easy answer !

I just played a DVD I made for a wedding client that has six shows in it. I could pause, rewind,fast forward etc. I could choose to play all or pick the show I wanted to watch. Hope this helps, it's late and I am off to eat a Tim Horton's strawberry tart and watch Cat Woman!! It's been a heck of a day....Cheers Jan
