You can define a project so that it always plays manually; or you can tem-
porarily make a project play manually.
Making a Project Always Play Manually
To make a project always play manually, set all pages to infinite duration
using the Effects In menu (Chapter 17).
You can do this as you create the titles — make the first page infinite and
future pages will also be infinite, since new pages inherit the characteristics of
the previous page.
Or you can change all the pages in an existing project to infinite duration
by marking all pages and changing their duration. To do this, use CMD +
MARK STARTfollowed by CMD + MARKEND to mark all pages, thenchange
the duration to infinity, using the Effects In menu.

• When you changethe durationof allthe pages,note that youcannot change
it back by using UNDO.

global changes easily. Press UNDO immediately.
Playing Any Project Manually
You can make a project play manually even if it has durations set by using
the arrow keys during PLAY.
Play the project normally using PLAY or CMD + PLAY. At any time, press
the RIGHT arrow key to flip forward to the next page. Automatic play pauses
— the page remains on the screen until you are ready to move on. Any dura-
tions that have been set are ignored. Continue to use RIGHT arrow to play
forward manually, a page at a time. Use the LEFT arrow key to flip back to
the previous page.
To resume automatic play, press PLAY.
Note the difference between using PLAY or SHIFT + PLAY to skip pages
as compared to using the arrow keys: PLAY and SHIFT + PLAY flip to the
next page and continue automatic play; the arrow keys flip to the next page
and stay there, paused. Arrow keys also skip the out-effect.
The arrow keys are a very convenient way to rapidly flip through the pages
to find a particular page.
