5. Press the right arrow key on your
keyboard.
The next frame appears in the
Current Frame window, and the last
current frame appears in the In
Transition dialog.
6. Use the Scroll button to select
Drawbridge. This selected transition
is the next In Transition.
7. Press the right arrow key again and
select another In Transition.
8. Continue adding transitions until all
the frames have In Transitions.
9. Click Done to exit the dialog.
Since Frame 1's Out Transition is Frame
2's In Transition, you do not need to set an
In and Out Transition for every frame.
Lesson 3: Setting Up Transition
Presets
The five buttons located to the left of the
In Transition window, called the "Five
Favorites," contain pre-installed
transitions. You can set these presets with
your own transitions, so you don't need to
enter the dialog to select your favorite
transitions later.
26 Kai's Power SHOW
In this lesson you'll store a transition as
one of the Five Favorites presets. (Sound
fx and Text fx Five Favorites work the
same way.)
To set up a Five Favorites preset:
1. While within the Transition dialog,
OPT/Alt-click a Five Favorites button
to clear any preset value.
Use the Five Favorites to store your five most used
In and Out Transitions.
2. Select a transition, then click the
empty dot to store it.

Working with Text

SHOW lets you add text to your slides in
one of two ways: using the static text
templates, or using animated text effects.
Templates set how your text is arranged.
Once you've selected a template, you can
easily replace the default text with your
own.
You cannot add text to a video clip.
You can also add text using the Five
Favorites. These presets contain
pre-formatted text that you can quickly
apply to any slide. Like the Transition Five
Favorites, you can replace these presets
with your own favorites.
The lessons in this section will teach you
how to add and edit text, add a
background for your text, and apply
animated text effects.
The Story So Far
So far in this tutorial, you've learned how
to import, sort, and sequence content.
You've also learned how to apply
transitions to individual frames. In this
next section, you'll learn how to add text
and text effects to your slides. Before you
get started, you may want to refer to
"Adding Text" on page 55.
