Your images learn to walk. With a few clicks your images wander over the screen. Simply follow these instructions and you will be quickly and comfortably introduced to the colorful, moving world of AquaSoft SlideShow.

Create a new project TBr_New and insert an image.

TBx_Image

 

Click on the image in the Image list or on the Timeline, so that the image is displayed in the Layout Designer.

LA_Image

 

In this example we would like to explain how you can arrange for an image to fly onto the screen from outside. For that purpose, we have to enlarge the invisible area with LABr_ZoomOut.

LA_Image_zoomedout

 

Now move the image into the invisible area.

LA_Image_moved1

 

Now insert a new movement mark with LABr_AddMovementMark. Then move the newly inserted movement mark into the visible area.

LA_Image_moved2_i

 

Play back the show. You will see that the image now "flies onto" the screen from the top left-hand corner. Increase the timestamp at the 2nd movement mark and movement becomes slower.

In order to be sure that the image arrives in the center of the screen and also the size of the image is not changed, retrieve the Custom entry once via LABr_Menu.

LA_ManualInput3_i

 

Select Mark 2 and enter 500/500 in the center Also set the Size of previous item. so that the size of the image is not accidentally altered during the path.

The Custom entry assumes a system of co-ordinates in which the Layout Designer is 1000x1000 units wide. Therefore, in order to center our image, enter 500 at X (the horizontal position of the midpoint) and at Y (the vertical position of the midpoint), i.e. half of the respective total extent. You can also use negative numbers. These then refer to the invisible area.
