I've made a slideshow for a charity crowdfunding event, but the organiser is bothered by the fact that the filename displays in large letters, hiding some of the actual text, when the slideshow starts playing. I can't find anything in the scanty preferences or controls to stop this happening—anyone any ideas? I must admit it does look a bit silly.
Thanks!

Then run the slideshow, Control (right) - click on the title slide in the thumbnail tray at the bottom and select Delete Text. Then Next time you run the slideshow there will be no title text.
OR, add a slide designed just for the title:
It is Photos—and you're right, OT, it is the project title. I used the same name for the exported slideshow, so I didn't realise there's a difference. I think it's another instance of Apple giving you unhelpful 'help' that you really, really didn't want and can't opt out of! I've had to give both the project and the slideshow the name " " (i.e., a space rather than a character or number) in order to get round this. Not having a visible name is going to cause all sorts of confusion in the charity's filing system, but if they don't want it to show when they play the film...
Thank you for replying, OT. 😀
Are you using Photos or iPhoto to run your slideshow? Photos only displays the project title automatically in the first slide and doesn't display the file names. The user must add additional text/file name to each slides with Photosl
If you're using iPhoto then click on the gear cog button and make sure the Show Caption checkbox is unchecked in the Slideshow Settings window:
Aah, yes—I hadn't spotted that. Thanks again!
Can I stop Photos slideshow displaying filename at start?
