Caption Motion & Adjustment Options
Beneath the Preview you'll find the Caption Motion & Adjustments pane.
These options allow you to control how your captions move around the
slide frame or change in size/color as the slide plays. Let's review all of the
elements you can configure here.

• Font Size controls the size of your text. When creating an effect,
think of this like the zoom option for a layer.
• Color allows you to adjust color of the caption as the slide plays.
For example, you can have a caption begin a slide as red text, but
change it to white text by the end of the slide.

• Position lets you change the location of the caption. The value
on the left is the X (horizontal) value. The value on the right is
the Y (vertical) value. You can change the position of a caption by
entering values in these boxes, or by clicking and dragging the
caption in the Preview.

• The Curve value affects your Position as your caption moves
around your slide. The default setting of 50% typically gives you
the best feeling of natural, organic movement.

• Rotate, Character Rotate, Skew and Opacity work just as they
do in Caption Placement. Use these options to rotate or skew
your captions and control their visibility during playback.
