slideshow. You can also opt to display a transparent

Frame Size and Quality
Specify the size that title pages are created. You should choose dimensions that are larger than typical screen sizes (otherwise there will be some loss of quality). Also if you are using motion effects you need to consider that images may be displayed two or three zoom.
Also if your slideshows images were sourced from a camera you should also consider reducing the size of large images too. This will improve the display of your slideshow and reduce the size it takes on your disk.
