Replace photo in a slideshow

[Terry Esslinger]

Add your replacement as a ‘take’
From the help file:
Right-click and drag the media file from the Project Media or Explorer window to an event on the timeline. A shortcut menu is displayed when you release the mouse button.

From the shortcut menu, choose Add as Takes.

The media file is added to the event as the active take, and the original media file remains in your project as a take.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there a way to completely replace the old photo? I don’t want to keep it in the project as I need to delete it from my PC.

Right-click the photo in the Project Media you want to remove, choose “Replace”, and then pick the new file.

Or you could just delete the file, open the project, and it will ask you where the file is. Just select the new file at that point.

Thank you so much!!! I will try this when I get home. Is there a way to locate the file in the media window from timeline? I know which photo I want to replace on the timeline but my media folder has hundress of files which is hard to find.
