Working with Animations Using Template Maker

—Animation Type — Select from a list of predefined animation effects. See “About Template Maker Animations” for a description of each animation.

—Preview button —Previews the selected animation effect in the CG Renderer.

—Offset box — Specifies the offset or delay at which at which to execute the animation. Use this value in conjunction with other objects to interplay animation effects among objects so that one object’s animation occurs at a different time than another object’s animation.

—Duration field — Specifies the length of time, in seconds, that the animation effect takes to perform.

—Auto play on slide load — When enabled, starts the animation effect automatically as you move to the next slide in the presentation. This option is only available for In animations.
