This user guide contains all the instructions you need to install and use SlideShowPro Director. If you're in a rush and would like to start using Director right now, first install the application using the Installation instructions as your guide, then walk through the Quick Start to build your first slideshow. For everyone else though, we recommended continuing along to learn how Director works, and the options available to you, before jumping in.

Let's get started with a general overview of how Director works.
