Creating pan and zoom slideshows in Lightroom CC/6

This video tutorial shows how to work with the Slideshow module in Lightroom CC / Lightroom 6 and concentrates on how to use the new controls in the Playback and Music panels to synchronize images to a music track and add pan and zoom effects.

Very useful Martin. I like the timelapse effect. I saved out my images at 150dpi and 1000 pixels longest length then brought them back into LR for a slideshow. You can upload without music to RUclips then apply their own free music so you don't get any copyright hassle ;-)

Martin, thanks for the video it gave me a great boost to my work. Do you know how you can create custom timelapse templates? I have a series of images that I'd like to incorporate at 3 frames per second.

I have CC2015, and there doesn't seem to be any choice of templates? What am I doing wrong here.

nice video, i was wondering what is the best format for the music clips, i try to add mp3 but it doesn't load.

The music sound track used here was licensed from a stock library. As I recall this was distributed as an MP4 format. For the actual Lightroom slideshow I loaded this track to provide the audio track. You should be able to convert audio tracks to different formats.

Thank you for the very informative tutorial. My photos are too small in my slide show, how do I increase the size of the photos displayed in the slideshow?

[@MartinEvening]

Actually, scrub my last comment. While using the Zoom to Fill Frame option can be used to get images to fill the proportions of the frame, it won't help with your problem. The only solution is to render such photos in Lightroom as TIFFs, open them in Photoshop, interpolate up to a larger size and then use these in place of the originals. Having said that, you may want to consider the resolution of the final screen used to display the slideshow, if you are preparing a slideshow for export to be played on a smaller screen.

Thank you for the reply. Will try that option.
