Motion and Soundtrack

The volume slider at the bottom of the Motion & Audio pane may seem
out of place, but it's actually a very interesting tool. This option allows you
to make changes to your Soundtrack volume that correspond with motion
on a slide.

For example: Let's say you have a video layer with audio. As the layer
zooms in, you can adjust the soundtrack volume to be lowered, allowing
the video's audio to be heard more clearly. This tool is generally most
effective when working with keyframes, which are covered in more detail in
Chapter 17.

Motion and Keyframing

Keyframing gives you the ability to have multiple starting and ending
positions on one slide. Rather than telling a layer or a caption to go from
point A to point B, you can tell it to go from point A, to B, to C, and beyond.
Keyframing is a major piece of advanced effects in ProShow and is covered
in a dedicated chapter of this manual. For more information on keyframing,
please see Chapter 17, Keyframing.

Motion and Modifiers

Modifiers are an advanced tool which can be used to perform and create
effects that might be very difficult to do with keyframes or with standard
motion effects. It’s one of the most advanced features in the program but
comes with some excellent benefits. If you’re interested in learning more
about Modifiers, see Chapter 18.
