Time tab options

To add transitions to a presentation

You can create visual transitions between items using the Transition object in the SMIL set of the objects toolbox.

You add the transitions you want to use to the presentation’s header, and then apply them using the Media Inspector.

1 On the Layout tab of the SMIL window, click the triangle next to Header to expand the header section.

2 From the SMIL set of the objects toolbox, drag the Transition icon to the header section.

3 In the Transition Inspector, specify the applicable options.
