The filmstrip is one of the most important editing tools in Gamma. It gives you a fast overview of your cards and lets you reorder, move, duplicate, copy, and delete content without losing the structure of your presentation.
What the filmstrip does
You can think of the filmstrip as the structural sidebar for your Gamma content. Instead of editing everything only on the canvas, you can manage the order of cards from one visual list.
How to reorder cards in Gamma
- Open your Gamma project.
- Find the filmstrip on the left side.
- Click and drag a card to a new position.
- Drop it where you want it to appear in the flow.
How to move multiple cards
If you are restructuring a longer presentation, selecting and moving multiple cards is much faster than rebuilding sections one by one.
How to delete cards
Select the card in the filmstrip and remove it using your keyboard shortcut. If you delete the wrong thing, undo the action immediately and continue editing.
How to copy cards between projects
You can copy a card and paste it into another Gamma project. This is useful for reusing testimonial blocks, cover sections, templates, and standard content modules.
Why the filmstrip matters for SEO-style content production
If you are building long-form structured content, the filmstrip helps keep your hierarchy cleaner. You can quickly move intro sections, FAQ blocks, comparison sections, or supporting cards without breaking the rest of the page.
Best practices
- Use the filmstrip for structure, not just navigation
- Group related cards together before detailed editing
- Do large rearrangements before polishing final copy
- Keep reusable card blocks for future projects
