The "Callout – Zoom" slide type is made for one-word or short phrases that you want to make pop in the general flow. This slide type does zoom in or zooms out and hovers around the "zero" position, meaning it zooms down to its chosen size or up to it, stays on that size, and then continues the zoom animation as the "out-animation."
It also does a rotation when zooming (which you can turn off), allowing for some very dramatic settings to yield cool results.
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 - Zoom" 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.
You control the "Scale Direction" (zoom) by setting it to Up, Down, or None. None is useful for just having a rotation movement on the text if you want to.
Scale Settings
- The "Continous Scale" checkbox lets you control if the scale movement should continue during the "zero" position of the text. If you want to chain different callouts together, this should be unchecked to mitigate position creep.
- The "Max and Min Scale Value" sliders set the maximum and minimum scale values that the text will have in the zoom animation. More extreme values create a more dramatic animation.
The "Rotation Direction" sets which direction the animation rotates. If you want a pure zoom animation, set this to "None."
Rotation Settings
- The "Continous Rotation" checkbox lets you control if the rotation should continue during the "zero" position of the text. If you want to chain different callouts together, this should be unchecked to mitigate angle creep.
- The "Rotation Degree" slider lets you set the amount of rotational travel the text will do in the animation. Higher means more dramatic.
"Text Scale" sets the maximum up-scale of the text in its "zero" 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.
