368 15. Motion

There are also some additional navigation elements and a timeline -which
we'll cover in more detail in Chapter 17, Keyframing. For now, let's take at
the Preview and see how we use it to make Motion Effects.

The Effects Preview

The most visually dominant item under the Effects tab are the Preview
windows. When you first open a slide to start creating motion you'll notice
a few things:

• There is a large preview in the center of the window and one
smaller preview off to the right labeled Next

• The images within the previews are of the same layer.

• Both images feature a number. By default, they are 1 and 2

The larger preview is the active preview. This means that any changes you
make to the settings in the Motion & Audio pane will be applied here.

The smaller preview is a navigation preview. You'll use this to click back and
forth between different points within your slide. For instance, the start of a
slide is one point, the end of the slide is a second point.

When you click on a navigation preview, it becomes the larger, active
preview. To create your motion effects, you'll use both of these windows.
