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 slideshow. 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 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

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.

Images and texts within a Collage are not independently animated. To achieve this you need the Chapter object.

As you can see, putting together a pretty Collage is achieved quickly and easily.

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.
