The "Callout – Cutout" slide type is made for one-word or short phrases that you want to make pop in the general flow. This slide type uses a text plate with cutout text, although you can use the text as is and even remove the plate.
All the callout slides have a similar function, so this first part applies to them.
The callout concept presents an opportunity to shift the tempo in a video, emphasizing a word or short phrase.
All the callout slides are built to look great as standalone slides, just popping on a word or two. They are built so you can chain them together by repeating words on multiple slides and controlling the animation patterns to build cool combinations.
Stacking multiple callout slides of different types after one another looks great. So if you take some care in your scaling and position settings, most of these will play nicely together.
These slides work well with heavy styling and animation. But remember that these work best when used as a little spice in a script. Or as a cool intro option. Or in a short, attention-grabbing thumb-stopper for a social media flow.
Main Example
Basic usage
The "Callout - Cutout" slide type holds one text field: Main message. Huge is set to default. (Huge 15 characters, Xlarge 30 characters, and Large 45 characters). This is mainly a one-word slide.
You can also affect the "Text Scale" up to 200%. This means that the text will scale to a max of 200% of its original size, and as much as will fit.
In this slide you can flip the text vertically and horizontally. And you can let it animate in three steps "over" the slide canvas. So the plate with the cutout will cycle repeat from its initial position in the direction you choose in three stages.
- Under "Slide Settings," you find the option to turn off the cutout if you want a solid color text instead. And you can also choose in which direction you want your vertical text to read: 90 or -90 degrees (down to up or up to down).
- With "Animation Direction," (None, Down/Right, Up/Left) you set how you want the three-stage cycle to work. For the most expected result, you would choose the opposite direction from the "Plate Position."
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.
