Using Transitions & Filters with Text Layers

As you learned earlier in this manual, a Text Layer is a hybrid slide object
that allows you to use both layer and caption tools. This applies to
keyframing as well.

When working with Text Layers, you can actually apply a Transition Layer
AND a Caption Motion Filter at the same time -which can deliver some
amazing results.

Simply toggle between the Effects and Text Effects tabs to apply your
changes to Layer Transitions and Caption Motion Filters.

Previewing Keyframe Effects

As you work with keyframes, you’ll find that it’s critical to preview your work
often. There are two different ways to preview keyframes from within the
keyframe interface.

Previewing the Entire Slide
As with all previews in the Slide Options window, you can play the preview
at any time. At the bottom of the window, click on the Play icon.

In Three Previews mode, the larger, active preview will playback the slide.
If you're using Two Previews mode, you'll see the playback in the window
on the left. This works great when you want to see how the entire effect
looks from start to finish.

You can stop the playback at any time by clicking on the button again.

But what if you just want to view a particular section of your slide, without
playing the entire slide? That’s a situation where scrubbing is used.
