The "Spintext" slide type is a fast-moving text-only slide with distinct text animation. As the name implies – it spins! You can use this to great effect for individual callouts in a video – or as sequences that you want to emphasize. The animation is a real eye-catcher.
Main Example
Screengrab from the storyboard of the example video.
Basic usage
The "Spintext" slide type holds one text field, Main Text, with 5 different size options:
- Huge: 50 characters
- Xlarge: 70 characters
- Large: 100 characters
- Medium: 180 characters
- Small: 360 characters
The default one is the Large size. When changing slide type the text from one default text layer will be carried over to another default layer.
Fine Print: You also have the option to add a "Fine Print" (300 characters) at the bottom of the slide. The text size is Tiny but can be scaled between 10-100%. The placement of the Fine Print will adapt to the placement of the logo (if the logo is at the bottom of the slide, the Fine Print will move to the top of the slide). Text Alignment - Left, Center, Right.
Animation Settings
You can turn on and off the in- and out-animation if you want to run more sequential slides with the same text.
Scale Settings
You can control how the animation looks.
In-Animation Scale Value: The animation has a scale for the in-animation that ranges from 0-200%. If you set the in-animation to 0, it will start the spin from a size that is 0% of the target. It is, in fact, not visible. If you start it from 200, it will shrink down while spinning, from double its target size.
Out-Animation Scale Value: Ranges from 0-200%. If you set it to 200, it will scale up while spinning, from the target size to its double size.
If you leave both values at their default 100 – no scaling will occur.
Color
The color settings let you adjust the Main Text and Fine Print color. You can also adjust the opacity of the Fine Print.
