Multiple texts

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In AquaSoft Stages there is also the possibility of fading in multiple texts either simultaneously or with a time delay.

In the Toolbox there is the text object for this purpose.

TBx_SlideShowObjects_Text

 

Fading in multiple texts, in sequence

In this example 3 texts to an image appear, in sequence. The number of possible texts is not limited.

Insert an image. Using the Toolbox, now add 3 Text objects. You can do this with a double-click or by means of drag-and-drop (dragging with the mouse) into the Image list or onto the Timeline.

ImgL_multipleText

Timeline_multipleText

 

Now select the first Text object. In that respect, it does not matter whether you click it in the Image list or on the Timeline.

In the Properties of the Text object, you can now enter your desired text and carry out the formatting. Position the text in the Layout Designer.

LA_Props_Image_multipleText_i

 

Select an animation and then call the editing function of the text effect via Edit.

So that the text is not faded out again before the next text is shown, the No fade out option must be set under Fade out.

Dlg_TextAnimation3

 

You can also have the text faded out if it is no longer supposed to be visible when the subsequent text is displayed.

Now repeat the steps with the second and third Text object.

LA_Image_multipleText

 

Then play back the little show with TBr_Play.

In the Properties of the Text objects you can change the holding time of the texts.

Props_Text_Text_Full_i

 

Showing multiple texts simultaneously

In order to now not show the texts in sequence, but simultaneously, the Chapter object is required. Use the little show that you have just created.

TBx_SlideShowObjects_Chapter

 

Add the Chapter object into your show.

ImgL_multipleText_withChapter

Timeline_multipleText_withChapter1

 

The Chapter can have several tracks and therefore show the Objects in parallel/simultaneously.

Timeline_multipleText_withChapter1_i

Click on the image on the Timeline and drag it with the mouse button pressed down to the Chapter object. The Chapter is framed in red if you go over it with the mouse. If this red frame appears, "drop" the image.

Timeline_multipleText_withChapter2_i

After that it looks like this on the Timeline. You now have to open the Chapter. There is a little plus symbol for that.

Timeline_multipleText_withChapter3_i

Now drag the first Text object into the Chapter. Drag it to underneath the image in the Chapter. A red vertical bar will appear if you move the mouse to the correct position.

Timeline_multipleText_withChapter4_i

Now drag the first Text object into the Chapter. Drag it to underneath the image in the Chapter.

Timeline_multipleText_withChapter5

If you now drag the Timeline to make it larger, it must look like in the illustration.

Now play back the show again with TBr_Play. You will see that the image and the texts are all faded in simultaneously.

Using the Timeline you can adapt the timing individually. For this, you can simply drag the Text objects with the mouse into the starting position.

Timeline_multipleText_withChapter6_i

When you don't work on a chapter you can close it by clicking the minus symbol.
