414 14. Transitions

You’ll notice that in the Layers list, your layers now say ‘Transition Source’
and ‘Transition Destination’. Now it’s time to actually add the fade that will
create our effect.
8. Select Layer 1 and click on the Effects tab at the top of the
window.
9. Select Layer 1 (Transition Source), and set the Ending Position’s
Opacity to 0. This will make layer 1 fade out over the course of
the effect. We want the source to start visible, and then slowly
fade out.

10. Select layer 2 (Transition Destination), and set the Starting
Position’s Opacity to 0. This will make the destination start out
hidden, and then slowly fade in.
At this point, if you play the preview in the window, you should start with
one color, and then fade into another. Or more accurately in context, you'll
see the Source fade out as the Destination fades in. Now all that’s left is to
save this effect as a transition.

11. At the top of the Slide Options window, click the Slide Settings
tab.

12. In the Slide Tools area, click the Create Transition button.

13. In the Create a Transition window you can specify various
settings for your transition. These are covered in more detail later
in this chapter. For now, be sure the name is set to Transition 1,
and click Ok.
