## Slide properties dialog box - Slide tab

Use this dialog box to set many properties for an individual slide in a movie.

Label: Displays the label associated with this slide. The slide label appears under the slide in the Filmstrip and Edit views.

Display Time: Specifies how long the slide plays. Type a number or use the arrows to select a new amount of time, in seconds, for the slide to play. The maximum amount of time a slide can display is 1 hour (3600 seconds).

Transition: Specifies how the slide transitions in and out. Click the down arrow to select a different transition.

Quality: Specifies the quality level for the slide. Click the down arrow to select one of four quality options: Standard, Optimized, JPEG, and High Quality.

Note: Selecting the Optimized, JPEG, or High Quality format may increase the file size and the time needed to download your movie. You should only use a format other than Standard when appropriate.

Color: If the slide is a colored slide, the color is displayed. (You can double-click the color to open the Color dialog box and change the color.)

Hide slide: Select this option to retain the slide in the movie, but hide it from view when the movie is played.

Lock slide: Select this option to lock ("freeze") all of the objects on the slide so they cannot be deleted or changed. (Locking objects does not lock the slide, so even if you lock objects, the slide can still be edited, moved, deleted, and so on.)

Apply changes to all slides: Select this option to apply the changes you made on this tab to all the slides in the movie.

Notes: Click to display the Slide notes dialog box, which lets you write information about the slide. Slide notes are not seen by users (those who are viewing your movie), but are an organizational tool for Captivate authors. The notes can be seen in two places: in the Record Audio dialog box and in the Export to Word options.
