A Practical Example of Keyframing with
Captions

Keyframing can also be used to add motion or adjustments to the captions
on your slides. With keyframing, you have you precise control over the
timing and behavior of your captions. This kind of precision allows you to
create effects that do exactly what you want – when you want to see them.

In this example, creating the appearance of a caption being written by
hand can be done by timing when your captions appearance and using a
specific Caption Motion Filter.

1. Create a new slide with any image. This image will be the
backdrop for the slide. Ideally, try to choose something like
an abstract background, an image that looks like a piece of
paper, or even a photo that has room for text.
In the next figure, you'll see an image of a notebook. Any
text that appears on top of this image should stand out
nicely.

2. Set the Slide Time to 10 seconds and the Transition Time to 3
seconds.
3. Double-Click on the slide to open the Slide Options window.
Select the layer and the use options found under the Layer
Settings and Adjustments tabs to position or edit your layer
however you feel it looks best to compliment the captions
you're about to add.
