4.8.2 STILLS
The Stills and Titles modules are actually very similar to the DDR , just discussed. Although each
is primarily focused on a particular purpose, together they also provide many creative
possibilities. The main difference between them is the type of media files they support:

The Stills player supports popular still image file formats and audio files.

The Titles module supports TriCaster title pages and popular still image file formats.
AN AUTOMATED SLIDESHOW
The controls of the Stills player are identical to the DDR . Rather than cover these again, let’s
have a little fun:
1. Click both the DDR and Stills tabs, so you can see both players.
2. Click any icon in the DDR playlist , and press CTRL + a on the keyboard, to select all of the
playlist entries.
3. Press Delete on your keyboard, clearing out the entire DDR playlist (this is a non-
destructive deletion, never fear).
4. Add some image files (a dozen or more) to the Stills playlist (you can use some of the
images from the NewTek Content group under the Stills heading for this example).
5. Click on one the icons about halfway through the playlist, highlighting it.
6. Hold down the Shift key, and click the last icon in the playlist, multi-selecting all the files
between the first one you clicked and the last one (the icons are given a lighter outline
to show their selection status).
7. Right-click anywhere in the Stills playlist , and select Cut from the context menu .
8. Right-click in the DDR playlist area, and select Paste .
