Basic Procedure

 

Step 1: Select the first frame that you wish to insert an object using the Slide Browser.

Step 2: Insert an object into this frame using the object tools from Toolbar or by Cut and Paste.

Step 3: Select the last frame in which you wish the object to appear in by using the Slide Browser.

Step 4: Select the object by clicking and set the object to be hidden in the remaining frames by using the Toolbar.

All the recorded frames are displayed as slides (called Slide browser) and selected frame is displayed in the middle of this window.
Let's add some effects on this movie.

Step 1: The first step is to select the first frame that you wish the object to appear in. In this case you would select the first frame from series of frames in the Slide Browser.

I've just added an object called "Title box" You will notice from the slide browser that this box is displayed in whole movie. If you want this box to be displayed for just few frames, select the last frame and click the "Show/Hide object". This box will disappear after the frame.


Step 2: This step is to control the appearance of Titled Box in the frames. In other words, it controls which frame the Title Box will first appear and in which frame it will appear last.

Assuming that the Title Box was created in the First Frame, next step is to select the Last Frame you wish the box to appear in by using the Slide Browser.

When you create objects or images in any frame, the object is also created in the remaining frames as well. Therefore, you must edit each object that you insert into the frames. From the last frame that you want the Title Box to appear in, select the Title Box by clicking on it and then click Show / Hide button in the editing.

 

From the slide browser, you can see that the Title box is displayed for the first 3 frames.
I've added another caption and typed "This is my current Wallpaper ". You can change these captions' size, color and font.

 
 

I've added another caption but in different shape, and typed "My Car". I also highlighted the Beetle with different color. You also can import graphics files into this movie.

 
 

You can add any sound effects to frames by selecting frame and clicking any of sound effect icons from the editing toolbar.
