Editing your Document — Callout Effects

Add Callout Effects

We're going to change some of the properties of the callout to really focus the viewer of our movie.

First, make sure that the callout is selected by clicking on it (it becomes yellow to indicate it has been selected).

Then change the following values in the Callout Properties. (You select the Callout Properties tab by clicking on the icon that looks like a purple circle with an Mouse Pointer in it).

  • Zoom Up -- Set to 300%

  • Border -- Set to 200

  • Build In Duration -- Set to 0.60s

  • Build Out Duration -- Set to 0.40s

Here is what the Callout Properties should look like:

The Final Result

If you now play the presentation, here is what happens:

  • From 0.0 to 3.0 seconds - Presentation plays as normal

  • From 3.0 to 3.6 seconds - Area around mouse starts to zoom up

  • From 3.6 to 4.6 seconds - Area around mouse is zoomed up

  • From 4.6 to 5.0 seconds - Area around mouse zooms back to normal

Here is what the preview looks like if you move the scrubber to 4 seconds (4s).
