Tips:

More differences between Simple/Theme Template and Advanced Template:

(1) Simple/Theme Template: Users are able to set Transition effects, Pan/Zoom effects for slideshow with these two kinds of templates. Click on the effect thumbnail between two photos’ thumbnails on StoryBoard to set Transition effects and click on the transparent pentagram to set Pan/Zoom effects.
(2) Advanced Template: Effects have been already combined into templates, so users can’t set it themselves. However, another powerful feature is active that users can easily change the color of templates to match their website style.
