Using effects in a RealPix presentation
Adding effects to a RealPix presentation
After adding images to a presentation’s image library, you can add transition effects to the presentation and associate
an image with each effect. When you create a new RealPix document, GoLive automatically adds a default fill effect
at the beginning of the presentation. The default Fill effect displays a black rectangle in the presentation display
window before any other images appear. You can leave the default fill effect in the presentation as it is, modify its
color, or delete it.
If you want to use a fade-in effect to display an image, you can simply drag the image from the site window or image
library to the timeline area. A fade-in effect displays a gradual transition from the current color or image in the
presentation to a different image. If you want to use one of the other effects, you must first click an effect icon to add
the effect to the timeline area, and then choose the image you want to display with the effect. To replace an added
effect, you must delete it and then add a different effect.
To add an effect to an image
1 Drag the image file from the site window or image library to the timeline. (If you drag an image from the site
window, GoLive automatically adds the image to the image library.)
