The EDIT Room
How the EDIT Room Works
The EDIT Room is where you'll add
sophisticated finishing touches to your
show. The features in this room let you
add transition effects, static and animated
text, and sound clips to your slides.
Use the EDIT Room to add transitions, text, and
sound effects to a slide.
In the EDIT Room, you'll usually work on
one slide at a time, although you can
perform some functions, such as adding
transitions, to a number of frames all at
once.
50 Kai's Power SHOW
There are four steps involved in editing or
enhancing a slide:
•
Add an In Transition. The In
Transition is the effect that appears
before the current frame.
•
Add an Out Transition. The Out
Transition is the effect that appears
after the current frame.
•
Apply text effects. This can mean
anything from adding blocks of static
text to a business slide, to creating
animated messages on family photos.
•
Add a sound clip. A sound clip can
include a voice annotation or a sound
effect (.wav) that plays when the slide
appears. An audio CD can be played
in the background, too.
What Are Transitions?
Transitions are the animated special
effects inserted between frames. When
your show plays, the transitions fill the
gaps between one slide and the next. A
transition can be used to create specific
effects in a show, for example, one slide
melting into another.
In a show, all slides (except the first and
perhaps the last) have an In and an Out
transition. In Transitions lead into the
current frame. Out Transitions follow the
current frame into the next. Hence, frame
1's Out Transition is frame 2's In
Transition.
The EDIT Room lets you choose from a
wide variety and number of transition
effects. Using the features in this room,
you can preview a transition, while adding
it to any slide in your show quickly and
easily.
Working in the EDIT Room
The EDIT Room has three main working
windows:
•
The Current Frame window
•
The In Transition window
•
The Out Transition window
