Slide Motion (Enable / Disable) The Slide Motion mode sets up additional slide motion that takes place at the end of a transition effect. Motion time is defined by the Slide Time value. Enabling the Slide Motion mode allows creating a continuous animation of slides in motion and transitions between them, with no static pauses. We recommend using it when showing slides in automatic mode or when converting a presentation to a video.
Limit The slide motion range that is set in percentages of slide size.
Avoid Slide Croping Enabled Avoid Slide Croping option sets slide size changes from (100 - Limit)% to 100%. This avoids cropping the slide.
Disabled Avoid Slide Croping option sets slide size changes from 100% to (100 + Limit)%, and the slide is cropped around the edges while moving.
Background Color The color of the background at the time the slide is growing. The background is only visible if the Avoid Slide Crop option is enabled.
