EFFECTS

Effects are stylish transitions like fades and spins that punctuate the images in your show.


Searching For and Opening Effects

1) Clicking the Effects button sets the Folder Browser to the default Gizmos effects directory.

2) If necessary, use the arrow buttons to navigate through the folders on your computer. Though denoted by .pst extensions, effects are most easily identified by their icons, which give an approximation of each effect's behavior.

3) When you find an effect you wish to use, double-click or simply drag the effect to the Presentation Bar to insert it into the current show.

4) The effect will then appear in the indicated place in the Show Bar.
