The Pan Effect

Selecting the Pan Motion option from the Slide Show tab brings up the Pan  Options dialog displayed below.

Images may be panned horizontally or vertically depending on their aspect ratio.  Selecting the Pan check box enables the Pan function.  The Start buttons determine if the panning will be from left to right / top to bottom (click on left / top) or from right to left/ bottom to top (click on S

Pan has two operating modes which are selected by the Pan Mode buttons in the Pan window of the Show dialog. 

The modes are:

• Continuous: The image will pan beginning from left to right and will rap around to the start and repeat for the number of cycles selected.  This mode is suited for 360 degree panoramas for a continuous display

• Bounce: The image will begin to pan from left to right and then "bounce" back from right to left for the specified number of cycles.

When Pan is selected the Time mode should be set to exact and the time for all the panning cycles set.  For example if the time where set to 20 seconds and the number of cycles where 2 then each pan would take 10 seconds. 

User Note: If the aspect ratio of the Slide is exactly the same as the image to be panned it will not work.  Corp the image slightly in the Edit tab and Pan will function.
