ProShow - Keyframing

TLED 3 – Introduction to ICT

What is Keyframing?

 Keyframing saves time and offers greater precision in

creating complex visual effects. Keyframing uses multiple
starting and ending points to create a change over time.
 ProShow Producer uses keyframing to create and control
layer effects, layer motion and caption motion.
 You set the starting and ending points for each layer at
various points during one slide. Keyframes are simply
points where something happens.
What is Keyframing?

 Producer shows the change from one point to the next

before your eyes.
 You can fade in and out of a layer, combine the motion
effects to create complex motion paths and create
complex motion paths for captions.
What is Keyframing?

 ProShow Producer uses keyframing to control

three sets of effects. They are:
 Effects creates adjustment effects that occur on screen
during a single slide.
 Motion applies keyframing to the pan, zoom and rotate
effects, allowing you to create complex motion paths
on a single slide.
 Caption Motion lets you create complex motion paths
and adjustment effects for captions that occur before
your eyes on a single slide.
Effects

 The Effects options allow you to set image

adjustments that will occur during the course of a
slide.
 Effectsare configured using the keyframe
timeline, which allows you to create sequences of
adjustment effects on a single slide.
 Each layer in a slide has independent adjustment
effects settings and timing to give you maximum
flexibility in creating interesting compositions.
Examples of Effect Keyframing

 Color Shift moves through a series of colors,

creating a rainbow effect, for example.
 Black and White to Color shifts from a black and
white image to a color image.
 Flashbulb Effect quickly increases brightness on
an image and then returns to the original state,
simulating a camera flash.
 Fading In/Out uses opacity changes over time for
an interesting effect.
To Access Effects:

1. In the slide list, click on the slide you

would like to modify.
2. Choose Slide > Slide Options and click on
the Effects button on the left side of the
window.
3. Make adjustments to the selected layer.
4. Click < Done >.
Keyframes

To Add a keyframe, right-click in

the keyframe timeline and select <
Insert >. To add multiple
keyframes, right-click in the
keyframe timeline adn select <
Insert Multiple >, then enter the
number you want to create.
Keyframes

To Move a keyframe, click on the

keyframe marker and drag it into the
desired position. To move the marker
to a specific point in the slide, right-
click on it and select < Set Time >.
Enter the desired keyframe time.
Keyframes

To Delete a keyframe, right-

click on the desired keyframe
marker and select < Cut >
Keyframes

 Skip to Next/Previous Keyframe (Arrows)

allows you to move to adjacent keyframes.
 Add (Plus) allows you to add a new
keyframe.
 Keyframe Timeline displays all the effects
keyframes specified for the slide. Right-
click on the timeline to add, delete or reset
keyframes.
Keyframes

 Keyframe Marker represents each individual

keyframe. Right-click to set keyframe time, cut,
copy, paste or delete the keyframe and reset all
keyframes.
 Transition determines how the layer will enter
and exit the slide. Set the Transition In and
Transition Out fade times by moving them on the
keyframe timeline. Right-click on the Transition
Indicator bar to manually set time.
Motion Key Framing

 Motion Keyframing gives you complete

control over the timing of your motion
effects.
 Create complex motion paths by setting
multiple keyframe points on the keyframe
timeline.
 Use the built-in smoothing feature to
achieve perfectly fluid motion.
Examples of motion effects

 Bouncing Ball makes a layer look as

though it is bouncing up and down
across the screen.
Stacking Images places layers on top of
one another at staggered intervals,
giving a feel of 3-dimensional
movement.
Examples of motion effects

 Image Tiling creates a mosaic effect over

time, placing images randomly into a grid
pattern.
 Supplemental Visuals Over a Video overlays
image layers on a video, giving a newscast
effect. Images appear over the video, stop
on the screen and then move off of the
screen, all while the video plays in the
background.
Access Motion Options

1. In
the slide list, click on the slide you
would like to modify.
2. ChooseSlide > Slide Options and click on
the Motion button on the left side of the
window.
3. Make adjustments to the selected layer.
4. Click < Done >.
Motion Key Framing Options

 Selected Layer - Selected Layer lets you choose which

layer to add motion effects to.
 Keyframes
 Keyframe Timeline displays all the keyframes specified for the
layer. Right-click on the timeline to add, delete or reset
keyframes.
 Keyframe Marker represents each individual keyframe. Right-click
to set keyframe time, cut, copy, paste or delete the keyframe and
reset all keyframes.
 Transition determines how the layer will enter and exit the
screen. Set the Transition In and Transition Out fade times by
moving them on the keyframe timeline.
Motion Key Framing Options

 Matching Options - allow you to match layers within

slides or from one slide to the next to create fluid motion
effects. Matching also automatically updates related
layers so that you can make changes once and the
matched layers will also reflect that change.
 Match Starting Frame to End of Previous Slide matches the layer
position of the selected layer to the previous slide.
 Match Ending Frame to End of Next Slide matches the layer
position of the selected layer to the next slide.
Motion Key Framing Options

 Starting/Ending Position - each keyframe has a

starting point and an ending point, represented
by the starting and ending previews. Any
differences between the starting and ending
previews will create an interesting effect as the
slide moves from one keyframe to the next.
 Manual/Auto indicates whether or not you want to
control the change to an adjustment for the selected
keyframe.
Motion Style

Linear moves the specified layer at a

constant speed for the duration of the
motion.
Smooth moves the layer slowly at
first, speeds up in the middle, and
slows down at the end of the motion.
Motion Style

Accelerate moves the layer slowly at

first, speeds up as the motion
progresses, reaches full speed when
the motion ends.
Decelerate moves the layer quickly at
first, then slows more and more until
the motion ends.
Caption Motion

 Caption Motion is configured using the keyframe

timeline, which allows you to create sequences of
caption motion and caption adjustment effects on
a single slide.
 Eachcaption in a slide has independent motion
and adjustment effects settings and timing to give
you maximum flexibility in creating interesting
caption effects.
Examples of Caption Effects

 Expanding Captions adds lines of captions

to the slide over time, perhaps in sequence
to new layers appearing during the course
of the slide.
 Typewriter Effect mimics a typewriter,
with letters appearing over a period of
time, an error showing up and the being
erased, and so on.
Examples of Caption Effects

 Subtitling functions like movie subtitles,

with captions appearing in sequence with a
voiceover track.
 Fade-In/Out makes various captions appear
and disappear, using opacity changes, over
the course of a slide. This is very effective
when used with a video layer.
