Fading and increasing light of slide

[Ian Smith]

Is there any way a slide can be started e.g. almost faded out and made to gradually increase in strength of lighting over the time allocated to the slide

In Objects and Animation set a Key Frame at Zero and another at the extreme right hand side of the timeline.

(Right click on Zero KF and choose CLONE KF - slide to RHS)

Set the OPACITY of the Zero Key Frame to Zero and the opacity of the Right Hand Key Frame to 100 (in the Animation tab).

Is this what you mean?

Yes

In the Project Options, make sure your background is set to BLACK, select the slide you want to fade in or out, then,

in the O&A screen, select the animation tab, make sure your slide has the bounding box around it, if not click the flag to the L/H side of the timeline, click the top plus sign at the R/H side of the time line, click opacity drop down arrow, move the slider to 0, click the top minus sign R/H side of time line. This give a fade out, to fade in then out, you need to set a tme point in the middle of the timeline & use the bottom plus sign on the timeline, experiment until you get what you want. I use 7.07, it could be a different operation in 7.5.

That is really helpful. I didn't realise it was that simple. Haven't tried it yet, but yes you understood my question. Thanks also to 'Yachtsman' for his reply.

Thanks Ralph, didn't know someone else was posting at the same time, my scrambled eggs were ready part way through composing, hence the delay.
