Basic Question

[Brad]

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm stumped.  I'd like an image to appear in the middle of a slide's timeline.  I tried moving the first keyframe of that image to the middle of the timeline, but the slide is still visible before that time.  The only way that I've been able to figure out how to do it is to add a keyframe a couple of milliseconds before I want it to appear with 0% opacity and then a keyframe with 100% opacity when I want it to appear, makes it look like it just appeared.  Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Brad

Give this a try.... Barry Beckham's video... on keyframes.

Gary, 

Thanks, yep watched it at least 3 times now.  I'm guessing the way that I did it is the only solution...

Thanks,

I am not sure if this actually answered your question or not. Was it helpful or is there something else that we missed?

Yes, I think your way (2 keyframes separated by 5 miliseconds, for example) is the only way, this is the way I use.

Thank you Dave! I wasn't even thinking of looking on that tab, I was too focused on the animation tab.  I guess I forgot that part of Barry's tutorials (I have watched them all, don't like asking questions if there is someplace to look)...
