Pausing after zooming
Ok..have a picture that zooms in. How do I get it to stop on the zoom in before fading on to the next slide? Instead, it keeps zooming while transitioning. Help!

Re: Pausing after zooming
You need to insert a keyframe, for however long you want the slide to pause at the end of slide. In your Slide Options, Motion Effects, grab the #2 and drag it over to the left to the point where you want the slide to pause. Then, between KF 2 and 3, make sure there is no zooming....
Hope that helps.

Re: Pausing after zooming
In PSP, there is a need for a bit of keyframe work.
Ideally you need four keyframes, KF1, KF2 KF3 and KF4. With standard A/B transition fade of 3 secs have KF1 at the beginning of the slide and KF2 at the end of the incoming transition 3secs. Both KF1 and KF2 at 100 zoom. KF3 at the start of the transition out and KF4 at the end of the slide. Set KF3 and KF4 to the required amount of zoom.
You will now have a steady picture from KF1 to KF2, a zooming between KF2 and KF3, and a steady zoomed picture from KF3 to KF4.
In PSG, put your unzoomed picture on say slide 1, cut transition to slide 2 and perform your zoom on this slide, then cut transition to slide 3 set at your final zoom from slide 2.

Re: Pausing after zooming
I can't do it. This is so confusing!!!
Re: Pausing after zooming
All of the above in other words
Go to Effects >Motion Effects. You will see two screens.
On the screen on the left, you will see the number 1 (that is keyframe 1). On the screen on the right you will see the number 2 (that is keyframe 2).
You will also see that there is a marked bar under the two screens. The brighter color is the actual duration of your slide, while the darker color is your transition.
With your mouse, drag keyframe 2 to the left, till the end of the slide time (which is the beginning of the transition).
Now, you have a very dark colored space. Right click again on that space, and choose "Insert".
This will insert keyframe no. 3.
With your mouse drag it to the right, till the edge.
What you achieved by this, are two identical keyframes (2 and 3). Because they are identical, nothing moves.
Hope this is a bit more clear

I never was a good teacher thanks Mona for putting it into a far better description.

Re: Pausing after zooming
Glad you got it sorted. There are times when keyframes are the only answer. But sometimes that's not the case--an alternative is to simply duplicate the slide and set all motion effects so this new slide is simply a copy of the ending positions and state of the one before it. Yep, you can do it with the keyframes but there's frequently at least two ways to get there and this approach is simple.
