Thanks Mickey but I am lost. All I want is a see thru caption no fading noyhing, I am a rookie at this and the information you provide is great and I am trying to learn. Keyframing drove me up a wall but it is starting to come around. I APPRECIATE ANY HELP i CAN GET. psp 1967

I'm guessing here, but I would say that all you needed to do is follow the instructions as set out in the tutorial, but leave out the KF's and set your opacity to whatever you want.

Sound about right?

How you do this depends on whether you want to reveal the image behind the black part of the screen or not, whether you want to move the caption - etc. You need to have some kind of working knowledge or understanding of layers, moving things, transitions of layers or at least be willing to play and observe what things affect other things. If you don't, maybe you are getting ahead of yourself. Those are all different scenerios that take time to experiment with to get what you want. That takes a lot of explaining all those different scenerios and hand holding too - sort of like running before you learn to walk.

These Producer tutorials have to assume that the user has some basic knowledge or the tutorial will bog down the viewer with things like file, open, save, etc etc.

The basic concept of a see through caption is in the "Use Texture On Caption" options.

Click option "use texture on caption" - this is in the Caption windwow.
Pick "Image" = Browse and insert the image file you wish to see through the caption.
Pick "Fill Frame" - from the drop down menu.

If you don't want the opacity to change, just leave that part out. That occurs in a totally different window and is not related to the caption anyways.

I just picked to key frame the slide so you could see the change in the opacity as someone wanted that effect. There are other hidden things going on too like the image zooming a little but only after the caption has totally exited the screen. That is a whole 'nuther ball 'o wax.

Often if someone isn't getting something, they are missing a key step. (Hopefully I didn't leave any important part of the instruction out)

Take some time to experiment - you will get it eventually and probably discover some other fun things along the way.

To add to what Debbie said, I have a folder just for "test shows"
where I will create a very simple test show with just a few slides
and the sole purpose is just to test out some feature. It makes it
a lot easier when you are trying to learn something new to just
have a very short "test show" you can quickly experiment with instead
of trying to work with a full show. Once you figure it out, then move
what you have learned over to the main show. You'll find it is easier
that way.
