How to copy motion zoom to each slide?

by **mjs6789** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 12:33 pm

I have psg 3.0.1942.

I want to do a motion zoom 120% on every slide. Is there a way to set this all at once for every slide? I can select all slides and then when I go into the Motion area, it only applies it to one slide. Please say there is a way! Yeah, I'm new here!

Don't use PSG but right click always has some great stuff......Cheers Jan

Nannybear thanks but no help on the right click. So does Director have this option? I create about 15 shows a week each with about 50 images and having to click on each image is a pain! I have tried right click, left click, double click, click beer (oops) but can't find a way to do this.

I am at work, so I don't have a show to look at right off hand, but one
sneaky back-door method that should work if all else fails is to use a
text editor on the .psh file -- the .psh (show) file is just a text file and
will specify the zoom factor for each slide - before doing anything funny
with zooms, you probably could go in and using a text editor change
all of the zoom factors. You will have to snoop around in the file and
see - it may be it doesn't put it in unless you change it but it may
actually be there already and easy to change (make a copy of the file
to play with - don't do it with the original).

Right clicking does work if you right click in the box with the zoom number. You will have the options to copy the zoom to all layers in the current slide, selected slides or all slides. The option does not appear if you have the percentage number highlighted though. If you want the zoom to be consistent (before and after motion) it would be best to apply this option in the Layers tab. If applied in the Motion tab you would have to set the zoom for before and after motion.

Barbara!!!! You rock! OK, so I guess when I said I right clicked before I didn't know you could right click on the text box areas! Wow, I am so glad I finally asked this question. This will give me more time to spend with my daughter each week! ha Thank you so much!

Here is a tutorial that will explain the "copy settings" feature in Producer.

It was produced by "VidQueen" Jennifer Weeks.

http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewsho ... alb=124704

It contains video and so is a large show. You might want to save the show on your PC for going back and watching a few times so you don't have to re-load each time.

You will see how/where to click and that you can use a bunch of check boxes options to select exactly what settings you want to copy and where you want to copy it to. It's a really neat feature.

Thanks for asking this question Mark ... I didn't even know that I wanted to know this but after seeing your post, I certainly do. Thanks, Nannybear and Barbara K and mikey too for the info. I'll use it a lot.
