Loop Editor

The Loop Editor is an easy-to-use interface that allows you to drag and drop images, videos, and prebuilt layouts into a timeline to be displayed on your screen.

 

Timeline:

The Timeline is on the far left side of the screen. It displays your slides in the order they will play on your device.

• Animation Dropdown: The Animation dropdown menu is at the top of the Timeline. Here, you can select the transition animation that will play between slides.
• Slide Preview: Each slide shows a preview of the slide image or video.
• Slide Duration: Below each slide preview is the length of time that each slide will be displayed on the screen. You can adjust the time by clicking on the numbers or the arrows on either side of the duration.
• Slide Name: Below each slide preview is the name of the image or video on that slide.
