Adding Effects to Your Images
Even if you are brand new to creating slideshows, chances are you are
familiar with the "Ken Burns effect". This refers the visual effect made
popular by documentary filmmaker, Ken Burns that features still images panning
and zooming as they appear on the screen.
Earlier in this chapter you learned how to create your own "Ken Burns style"
slideshow by using a keyboard shortcut to randomize the Pan, Zoom and Rotation
of each of your selected images. If you forgot the shortcut, don't worry, you
can also right-click on any selected slide in your Slide List and choose
the same randomize options from the sub-menu.
Random motion effects are fine and can make for a very nice show, but what
makes ProShow really fun is when you start using Slide Styles. First off, Slide Styles are effects that you
can apply to any slide in your show. Secondly, they are
not random. Slide Styles are effects that always look and behave the
same way each time you use them. They can be very simple (such as a pan from
left to right), or extremely complex (using multiple layers, color filters,
advanced motion, etc)
Slide Styles are covered in much more detail in Chapter 13, but for
now, let's see just how easy it is to apply these effects to your
slides.
How to Pick an Effect
-
In the Build Workspace, take a look at the Toolbar just above the Folder List. Click on the Effects (FX) icon. This will open the Effects (FX) window.
-
With the Slide Styles tab at the top selected, browse the categories and choose your desired effect.
-
Press the Apply to Slide button. You'll see a message letting you know that any other effects that exist for the selected slide will be replaced by the Slide Style you have chosen. Press OK to apply the new Slide Style.
-
Once you are finished applying your effects, press the Done button.
Much like you saw earlier when choosing a Transition, the Effects
(FX) window allows to browse effects by category and will show you a
thumbnail preview of what the effect will look when once applied to your
slide.
As you click on each effect, more information about the effect will appear on
the right side of the window, including: the name of the style, the number of
layers you'll need for the effect, the preferred image orientation and the
optimal slide and transition times.
Effects (FX) Tip:
-
If you have more than one slide selected in your Slide List, the same effect will be applied to each selected slide.
