In only a few steps, you can create beautiful collages.

Double-click the “Collage” object from the “Toolbox”.

TBx_SlideShowObjects_Collage_i

 

In this way a “collage” is inserted into your slide show. Click this “collage" in the “Image List” or on the “Timeline” and you will see in the “Layout Designer” that the “collage” is empty at the moment. In order to fill it in, just double-click the “Image” object from the “Toolbox”.

TBx_Image

 

In the dialog which now appears, simply select all images to be used for your collage.

These are inserted into the collage, since they were selected in the “Image List” and on the “Timeline”. If you click TreePlus next to the “collage”, you can view all images in the “collage”.

Now simply click on the individual images and drag/maximize/minimize them as you please, until you are happy with the result. You can reduce the images using the “positioning framework” in the “Layout Designer”.

Now insert a “Text” from the “Toolbox” and position it as you please.

TBx_Text

 

Hint

If the “Text” is not inserted into the “Collage” now, the collage was probably not selected when you inserted the “Text”. Click and simply drag the “Text” onto the “Collage” and release the mouse button. This works in the “Image List”, on the “Timeline” and on the “Storyboard”.

Now you have a finished “collage”, consisting of your “images” and a “text”. The images can also overlap. Likewise you can create an “image within image” effect by not reducing the size of the first image.

If you select the “Collage” object, you can change “Object settings” of the “collage”. You can determine a “transition” and change the exposure time.

Props_Collage_Image_Full

 

All “images” and “texts” within a “collage” are not independently animated. For this you need the “Chapter” object.

As you can see, putting together a decent collage is achieved quickly and easily.

 

Bulb

As in an “image”, in a “collage” you can zoom and furnish this with a “camera pan”. Simply try it out.

You will find more about movement path in the chapters „Movements“ and „Zoom“.
