Caption Behaviors and Keyframing

As you learned earlier in this manual, Caption Behaviors are effects that
change the way your captions appear and disappear from a slide. If it
sounds familiar right now, it's because a Caption Behavior is basically the
same thing as a Layer Transition, only for text instead of images or video.
Applying them and changing their timing using keyframes works just like
changing the timing or effect for a Layer Transition.

How to Set a Caption Behavior
1. Open Slide Options

2. Select a caption from the Captions List and click on the Effects
tab
3. In the Keyframe Timeline, click on the Fly-In or Fly-Out icon for
either the first or last keyframe, and select a caption behavior.
OR

1. In the Caption Behaviors pane, choose a Fly-In or Fly-Out effect.
Notice that if you choose a behavior here, the Keyframe Timeline
will update to show you that you now have an effect.

Just as you would with a Layer Transition as you hover over a Fly-In or Fly-
Out effect for a caption in the Keyframe Timeline, a red box will appear to
let you know that the Caption Behavior is activated and ready for editing.
You will also see a tool tip appear that shows you the time of the Fly-In or
Fly-Out effect.
