-Dialogue tracks define sequences of text - typically used in cutscenes (which are made interactive with cues). The important thing is a '''dialogue slide acts just like a cue slide by default''' (unless you give a start or duration). When you're making a dialogue track, a lot of things are optional or can be reused too. In the following example, we reuse the speaker value in order to avoid repeating it. As a handy shortcut, a line of text is recognized as a valid dialogue slide too:

-A PowerSlide JSON file is just an array of tracks, and each track is an array of slides. The type of track is discovered from the slides you use in it. However, most timelines are a single track, so you can declare just a single track if you'd like, like the style track below.
