To stop the playback:
7 Select one of the other options—such as Next Lower Optimum Speed—then close the
menu.
When you return to the TRANSITIONS menu this time, you should see a different value in
the Actual text box. This is because PowerScript uses a different algorithm to derive the new
value.
8
Repeat the two preceding steps two more times and select, in turn, the other options in
the ROLL & CRAWL OPTIONS menu—that is, Next Higher Acceptable Speed and Next
Lower Acceptable Speed.
Once again, each time you return to the TRANSITIONS menu, note that the Actual value is
most likely different in each case.
The difference between Optimum and Acceptable speeds is important. Optimum speeds
normally produce smooth motion, but might not be able to meet your target as closely as
you require. Acceptable speeds might result in choppy or jerky motion, but are more likely to
meet your required target speed. So, you have to make the choice between the two categories
based on your needs. The only way to do this effectively is try all of the options and play the
page to see what results you are able to attain. There are a few other adjustments you can
make to try and meet your target duration if necessary. See "Using Roll and Crawl"beginning
on page 99 for additional information.

Once you're satisfied with the Actual duration that PowerScript calculates for the Title
page, close the TRANSITIONS menu and go on to the next lesson.
Note
When using the Roll & Crawl options, you can set either the transition Speed or tran-
sition Duration. Whichever one you set last takes precedence. That is, if you set the
transition Speed using that option then close the TRANSITIONS menu, PowerScript
uses your speed setting—conversely, if you set a transition Duration then close the
menu, PowerScript uses your duration settings.
