Zoom text from full screen to nothing

[gordy9]

I have a slide show with 250 slides and at the end I have a slide with text. I would like to have this text go from a full screen to nothing. Could someone tell me where I could find a tutorial showing how to accomplish this.

In Objects and Animations you'll see the TEXT listed on the right hand side.

Click on it and you'll see it's Keyframe on the timeline - a blue flag on the left hand side.

Right click on this blue flag and select CLONE KEYFRAME.

Move the new Keyframe to the right hand side and adjust its ZOOM value in the ANIMATION TAB (to ZERO).

This process allows for any PZR adjustment on any object.

Hi Gordy The method I use to do that is to write the text via the text box at the top of the screen see T1, open the O&A and single click the text, this makes it the active item with a bounding box surrounding it. Now down at the bottom right of the screen is a + & - sign, see T2 above the word Play. Click the Plus sign, grab the bounding box & drag it to the size you want, inwards to make it smaller. When it is the size you want, see T3, click the minus sign. Next go to the Customise Slide buttom bottom right, click that & set the time to what you want. Try 10 seconds first, or to suit what you wish. Next click the close button top middle, & you should have what you want. I am using version 6.04, if you are using a later or beta version, those actions may not work.

Eric (yachtsman1), user gordy9 is interested in an animation

Dave's suggestion is the one to follow!

Something lost in translation somewhere xavr. My explanation desctibes exactly what Gordy has requested, there's more than one way to crack a nut.

Read carefully Xaver, the pictures don't tell the full story.

Both methods work.

Hi Yachtsman1

I was able to get your method to work. Thanks to everyone that responded. This a great forum.

You are right! I just had a look at Eric's pictures, and they indeed miss a second key frame that is needed for an animation.

Hi Gordy

I find the method I described easiest to use as I have never got my head around using the prescribed animation methods. Maybe one day I will, but at the moment I will toddle along as I do. Glad you have got some satisfaction from it.
