Rotating of a slide

[Penny47 Profile Private message]

I am trying to do a fun show for the grand children and want to rotate a slide and have it stop so they get to look at the slide for a couple of seconds. I am pretty sure it is a timing thing but am unsure of how to fix it. I really want it to pause before the next slide appears. Mine seem to go all the way round and just as they get there the next slide comes into it.

Hi Penny

A really quick and simple way to do this in either Producer (without going into keyframing) or Gold is to copy your rotating slide to the next slide from within the 'Motions' tab - click the button that says 'Copy to next slide' - you'll find it between the starting position window and the final position window. Make sure you turn off the rotation in the second slide and set the transition time between the two slides to 0/zero.

Hope that helps

Hi Penny,

I have a tutorial called "Hold On" that I think might help you. It involves making an image hold in place using keyframes.

Hope that helps!

Don't be afraid of keyframes. The effect you are looking to do is
one of the easiest uses of keyframes. On all of my slides that have
motion I add at least two keyframes: one at about 1/2 second that
has the exact same position as the initial keyframe point. That sets
the image at the beginning for the viewer to "take it in." The second
I add at about 1/2 second before the end of the slide (not the
end of the transition). It has the same position values as keyframe #4
at the end.

Watch the VidQueen's tutorial. You really can do this. Using keyframes
is worth the learning curve.
