The "Callout – Split Text" slide type is made for one-word or short phrases that you want to make pop in the general flow.
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 - Split Text" 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.
This slide divides the phrase into two parts, of which the first will be stationary, and the other will animate in and out. You can control where the split will occur with the "Split After Character" setting that allows you to input how many characters are in the first part and subsequently in the other part. These two parts can then have different colors.
Since we want you to use the slide in this way – you can left-align the text and even control a fixed position that locks the left edge of the text area to a set pixel value.
You can also set a fixed position vertically to ensure the text block does not shift position due to different letters. These settings are under "Position Settings."
Fair warning here, though: Even if you lock the vertical position, there may still be a chance for the text shifting position – if you are using characters with umlauts, common in nordic languages. So you would have to pay attention to this.
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.
