Adding time to a slide with KF

by **iromero** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 4:59 pm

Hello All,

I know this has been posted in here before but I just can't find it. I have a slide with 19 layers. Basically it is the side by side matte with photos fading in and out of each side. I need to add 3 or 4 seconds to the end of the slide so that the very last pictures are in view for a reasonable amount of time. I believe that if i just increase the slide length, that it will simply reallocate the kf across that time. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to do this. This project has become a career and I am trying to finish it segment by segment to feel some sense of accomplishment. This is the last piece I need to fix for this segment to be complete.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ivan

Yep... I was headed that way. I was probably going to by the tutorial dvd anyway.

Thanks for the quick response.

The first post in this topic link above shows how to do this.

Fantastic!!! It was exactly what was needed. I had to play around with the keyframe duration on the other photo that was displaying at the same time but it worked. Thank you so much....

As an aside to your problem, that has been answered.

If as you say the slide is very repetative in its action, 19 layers of side by side fades, it is very much easier to split this over say four slides. Once one slide with four layers has been finished, copy this to the next and following slides and change the pictures on the layers. This is a much quicker way to work and easier to change. (Set the fade time between slides to the same as the KF fade).

KF's don't have to be used, just because they are there. I reserve KF's to where the actions have to be on one slide to give the effect.

Great tip Brian. I actually did this with some of the templates that have been posted on the site. This particular slide I created myself and it didn't dawn on me to use the same method. I will keep this in mind for future reference.

Thanks,
Ivan
