Transitions options define the way which the pictures will be shown.

Select transition type from the dropdown.

Then define interval in milliseconds with which the pictures will be changing.

***Note****: if an interval is too small, animation effects may not work properly.*

Define animation speed (the time in milliseconds spent on one animation effect) and amount of animation slices.

You may switch to the next slide manually by clicking “left” and “right” buttons. In case you do not need to use this option uncheck the box “Show navigation buttons”.

Or show them only on hover. Just check the box “Show navigation buttons” and “Show on hover”:

You can choose arrow style: big small or circle.
