Motion and Captions

Everything you have learned about moving layers also applies to the
captions you add to your slides. After all, a caption is simply another type of
layer that you can add to a slide.

With Caption Motion Effects, you have the same flexibility and capability to
control how your captions look and behave that you find when working
with layer Effects.

Bringing Captions to Life

In this section, we’re going to learn how to use the options found in the
Effects tab to create caption motion by building an example that
demonstrates what you can do with the features.

This example will cause a caption to appear, and zoom into place using
Caption Effects.

Panning and Zooming a Caption
1. In the Build or Design Workspace Toolbar,
click the Add Title icon to create a new Title
Slide. This will create a new slide and open the
Slide Options window for you.
2. Under the Caption Settings tab, in the Caption Text pane,
type "Slideshow".
3. In the Caption Format pane, change the Font to Georgia, the
Size to 20, and enable Bold.
4. In the Caption Placement area, change the Alignment to
Center Justified and drag the caption so that it is centered and
at the top of the Preview window.
So far this uses only the tools you learned about in the Captions chapter.
Once you have a caption you'll use the options found in the Effects tab to
set up the motion for the caption.
