Splitter With Custom Styles & Transitions

[tc_leeds]

I am having trouble getting the Splitter feature to work with Custom Transitions and Slide Styles. I have created a Slide Style where the main image is set within a frame zooms for the full duration of the slide (10secs). There is a border (5px) around the frame and a drop shadow and the background is blurred (35%) with reduced opacity (70%) and a zoom of 105%.

I have applied a Custom Transition that  I have created making sure that the Use background from slide, Transparent background of slide and Dissolve are all selected. When applying the transitions there is no separation of the background image nor is it appearing as a dissolve.

I am using version 9.0.7 with a Windows 10 PC. Can anyone help please?

Firstly, you can use Main Image 1 for both the Main Image and the Image in the Splitter. You will not then get the "Reference Image" when your style is applied.

From what I can see you have not applied the Splitter Properly.

My advice -  the "Splitter for BG Objects" is an Option in the Right Click Menu in O&A. Use that.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply. I Have used the right click option in O&A to no avail. The Main Image changes to Reference Image when I apply the Slide Style.

It's baffling me!

Right Click in BLANK SPACE - are you doing that?

Yes

Make your Style from this.

Hi Dave,

Many thanks, for some reason I was not getting the "Splitter for background objects" option. Now created Slide Style using this feature and is working OK

I've been playing around with this most of the afternoon. Will now try on Laptop and hopefully get it to function there.

Many thanks

Try this Style and Analyse it.

Hi Dave,

That is nearly the same as the Slide Style  I have created. There is only a slight difference in the figures but virtually the same effect. I have now carried out the same process on the laptop and it works well.

I am giving a presentation on Sunday and wanted to show off as many of the features as possible and have been working through them for a while.

Really helpful, thanks again.

Great!

Here is another variation.

Thanks for the styles. I have been playing around with Text Templates earlier today repositioning and adding zoom and fade in and out.

It works really well and can be a suitable alternative to create a title slide.

Have you looked at Igor's CAPTION Presets?

Yes, I've used some of them before. I tend to show beginners the ones not requiring an image and then move on to using ones with an image and then using O&A to create their own.
