The Intro – Icon slide is a relatively straightforward text slide with an added icon/digit/image function that calls for attention. It has a few built-in symbols and gives you the option of using numbers or an uploaded asset (such as a transparent png).
Using this as an intro slide can create a significant "thumb-stopping" effect for videos in social media feeds.
Main example
Basic usage
The Intro – Icon slide type has two text fields, Main Text and Caption. The Main Text Large (85 characters), Xlarge (70 characters), and Huge (40 characters) text size. Large is the default size. The Caption text has Small (100 characters) and Medium (70 characters) sizes. Small is the default size. The text from one default text field will be carried over to another default text field when changing slide type.
Slide Settings
You can control the animation of the different parts of this slide individually - giving you the option of "chaining" multiple instances of this slide in many ways.
Main Text animation: You can turn on and off the in- and out-animation of the Main Text to run more sequential slides with the same text.
Caption animation: You can turn on and off the in- and out-animation of the Caption to run more sequential slides with the same text.
Icon animation: You can turn on and off the in- and out-animation of the Icon to run more sequential slides with the same text.
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.
Icon Settings
The "icon" (which also can be a number or an image) also has a separate animation setting that is synced for each second. This gives you the opportunity (when you set your slide duration to even seconds) to have a seemingly coherent animation of the same icon/number/asset over multiple slides.
The "Number" will be a scaled-up version of your Huge typography.
Icon Switch:
Choose from Off, Arrow, Info, Question, Warning, and Number.
Replace Icon: You also have the option to use a custom Icon by turning the "Replace Icon" to On.
Upload the Icon/image you want to use.
Inline Asset Animation (If custom Icon): Choose the behavior of the animation - Off, Side to Side, or Up and down.
Wiggle Animation: On or Off.
Color
The color settings let you adjust the Main Text, Caption, Icon/Number, and Fine Print color. You can also adjust the opacity of the Fine Print.
