Creating a slider with images and videos has never been easier—plus, it’s a very intuitive way to showcase those amazing photos that wouldn’t fit on a printed page.

The first step is to create a Rectangular Frame with the aspect ratio of your photos or videos, in the orientation you need (vertical or horizontal), and keep it selected.

  1. In the plugin, click on the Enrichments section, then select the Slider option.
  2. Click on Add a file or link to begin adding images and/or videos.
  3. You can use local files, upload them beforehand to Drive, or use YouTube video links.

Configure Your Slider

1. Organize
2. Add Text
3. Settings

Organize your files

The six-dot icon (on the left) lets you drag items up and down to change the display order.

The pencil icon allows you to replace the image/video.

The trash icon lets you remove the file from the slider.

Add text to your slides

  • The pencil icon allows you to add text to the slide. With this option, you can:
  • Set the vertical position of the text: top, center, bottom, over the slide, or below the slide
  • Write your text
  • Choose between a sans-serif or serif font
  • Set the text size in px
  • Set the color and opacity of the text
  • Add a background box or shadow behind the text
  • Set the horizontal position of the text: left, center, or right

Slider Settings

  • Appears on click: opens the slider in full screen when clicking the area it occupies in the rectangular frame. The slider does not appear on the page itself.
  • Scale image in slide: enable this to make images fill the entire frame regardless of their size or proportions.
  • Arrows always visible: enable this to keep the navigation arrows always visible.
  • Fullscreen icon: enable this to always show the fullscreen icon.
  • Autoplay: enable this to make photos/videos advance automatically. You can set the interval before the next slide appears.
  • Autoplay delay: the time in seconds between the automatic slide transitions
  • Ken Burns effect (auto zoom): enable this for animated zoom between slides. Then, set the zoom percentage.
  • Auto zoom level: adjust the scale factor for the zoom effect. For example a factor of 1.5 will make the slide zoom by 50%.
