What is Multi-slide?
The Multi-slide option in Pickcel lets you add more than one slide inside the same composition. Each slide can have its own layout and zones, allowing you to show different types of content in one composition without creating separate layouts.Why use Multi-slide?
Use Multi-slide when you want to:- Show different layouts in one composition
- Add different content on each slide
- Manage everything from one place
How to add multiple slides
Go to Composition → + Add Composition → Create new layout to open the layout designer.Configure each slide
Add zones to the new slide. Use the Slide 1, Slide 2 tabs to switch between slides and configure them individually.
