MediaWorks has the flexibility to present content in numerous ways. One approach is to make slide shows that can be navigated using the keyboard Arrow keys. To create this type of slide show, simply drag in your images and sequence them with the General Preferences Auto-Sequence Overlap set to zero.

Be sure to uncheck "Auto-Start Scene" from the Scene-Attributes dialog so that when you play your project, it will wait for the Arrow keys.

You can also export the Scene as an unrendered QuickTime movie and when the movie is played in the QuickTime Player, navigate your slide show by pressing the Right Arrow key. To move backwards, press the Left Arrow key.

With this type of slide show, you can't use transitions or background audio. However, a nice aspect is that the duration of the images doesn't matter. Simply use the default one-second for Picture duration and with Auto-Start Scene unchecked, you will have an easy-to-navigate slide show playable across Mac Classic, Mac OS X and Windows.
