Double click in the grid in a cell of the 4 animation lines. A window will then open.
Animation is a image which moves from one point to another of the screen using different ways.
If this image is composed of several images (gif animate for example), each stage of the movement will have moved the different images composing the global image.
If your page is empty, place your animation in column 1.
2 animations on the same column will appear simultaneously. See the rules of the grid
What image can one add ?
- an image file (BMP, ICO, JPEG, GIF ...) composed of only one image
Complete "Image globale" by clicking on the button arrow.
Select your file, then validate.
- an animated GIF
Complete "Image globale" by clicking on the button arrow.
Select your file, then validate.
How do you position an animation ?
- Visually
- Click on the button "Visual positioning".
- You go to the Mode Positioning. You visualize your project full screen with all the medias.
- You position with the mouse the points of departure and arrival of the animation. To know more...
- Manually
Change the values "left 1", "top 1" (point of departure) and "left 2", "top 2" (arrival point).
"Width" , "Height" are calculated automatically by the software according to the number of images composing the animation.
How do you make an image move ?
- on a line
Change the values "Left 1", "Top 1" (starting point) and "Left 2", "Top 2" (arrival point).
To control the speed and the fluidity of the movement:
- change "Effect duration" (1.5 sec).
- on a broken line NEW
Select "Ligne brisée".
Enter all the x and y positions of the animation.
Enter just one space char between each position.
- Rebounds NEW
Select "Left rebound" or "Right rebound" or "Top Rebound" or "Bottom rebound" .
The image will rebound before reaching its arrival position.
- move alone NEW
Select "Catch character".
The animation will move automatically towards the character in action.
It will start as soon as the character starts (keyboard arrows keys).
With effect duration, control the frequency of the move.
If you add an action to your animation, this action will start when the animation catches the character. Watch an example.
- accelerate or decelerate NEW
Select "Accelerate" ou "Decelerate" instead of "Constant speed".
- on a parabola
Rather use a line image image with an effect "Parable top left", "Parable top right", "Parable bottom right" or "Parable bottom left".
- from the top, the bottom, the left or the right of the screen
Use a line image with an effect "Straight left", "Straight right", "Straight bottom" or "Straight top".
How do you make an animation appear ?
- Transparency
Change "Filter" (by default "Normal").
Three transparences possibles :
- Transparent white: None of the white pixels of your image will appear (R: 255, G: 255, B: 255).
- Transparent black: None of the black pixels of your image will appear (R: 0, G: 0, B: 255).
- Transparent: The color of the pixel located on the bottom left part of your image determines the transparency color.
For a good transparency, use the format gif or bmp (the format jpeg compressed gives a poorer result).
- Color filters
Change "Filter".
Various filters availables (red, blue, yellow, color inversion...). View filters.
How do you make an animation disappear ?
- immediatly
Choose "Make all animations disappear on this line".
The animation(s) previously recorded on the same row will disappear.
- later
Select "Automatic disappearance with action 'Go to Column'".
When the application changes column (actions "Go to column"), your animation disappears.
How do you make an animation reappear ?
Select "Insert this animation in the background".
Your animation is then included in the image memory of the project (background).
When you ask for a background reset on this page, it reappears.
How do you make the animation interactive ?
- on click.
Select "After clicking on the animation".
Change "No action".
Choose among 21 actions (go to page, go to column, go to a web page, open file, print screen...).
The user can thus move around in your presentation, reach a site on the internet, open an excel file or print screen.

Select "After the animation has finished playing".
Change "No action".
Choose among 21 actions (go to page, go to column, go to a web page, open file, print screen...).
