94 5. Understanding ProShow

Each slide can have any number of layers

• A layer can be any type of visual. It can be a photo, a video, text, a
solid color, or a gradient. ProShow treats them all basically the
same.
• Each layer can be fully customized. Motion, adjustments, timing,
etc. can all be set for each layer.
Captions are basically layers of text that you add to a slide. Each slide can
have any number of captions.
• Captions can have effects applied that control how they appear
and move.
• Captions always appear above all of the layers in your slide.

A single background can be set for each slide, or the background for the
show can be used.
A single sound effect can be added to each slide for voiceovers or effects.

Layers and captions can use keyframes, which allow precise control over
their timing and effects. Layers and captions can also use modifiers, which
let you ‘program’ effects using advanced techniques.

Styles can be applied to Slides. Styles are effects that control the settings
for all of the elements within a slide. These effects can be motion effects,
color adjustments, etc.
