Layer timing within a slide.

[gamagoat Profile Private message]

Hi I'm using PSG 7 and was wondering if there is a way to control the timing of an added layer from the start position to the end position separately from the duration of the slide. Hope I'm making sense.

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but each layer can have keyframes that define what it does when. If you want a layer to "appear" half way through a slide for example, use the keyframes for that layer to adjust the opacity of the layer. Same thing applies to motion/zoom etc. for a layer.

It's not possible using Gold to move start or end keyframes or adjust opacity unless version 7 has added those features. It can be done with Producer though.

Oooops - didn't notice it was Gold. Sigh - getting old ! One thing you can do that I have done in Gold in the past is to create several slides with the images in them you want. Then you use a zero transition time between them and select the option to match start of the second slide to the end of the first. Using that sort of process, you can for example have a slide where an image starts at one zoom level for several seconds (first slide), slowly zooms to a second level (second slide), then holds that zoom for a period (third slide). It ends up looking like one slide with 3 different segments in it.
