Q: How does one quickly and reliably visualize the end position of a
compound action build sequence, so you can copy the "end product" of
the compound build so it is accurately sized and positioned on the
next slide? (For instance, after using a combination of scale and
motion, or a combination of rotate and motion). I recall some early
discussion about this problem, but would appreciate your
suggestions. This can become time consuming when you need to do a
slow dissolve to a subsequent slide on which you want to carry some
(but not all) of the objects that you took through such action builds
on the prior slide. Obviously, you can keep adding builds to the
initial slide, but I have some instances in which that is not very
practical.
Example:
On slide one, let's "break" a "plank", supported on two "saw
horses", by loading it in the middle: bring an arrow in from the top
(weight implied) , and then, the plank develops an irregular "crack"
immediately below the arrow. Next, the two pieces of the
"plank" (which were layered behind the intact original which wiped
out vertically to make the crack "appear"), "fall down" by using a
combination of rotate (as so cleverly suggested by John a few weeks
ago) and motion. Now, we have two "bits of plank" in their rotated
and translated "fallen" positions. Now, how to dissolve into slide
two, and make sure that the two pieces are "picked up" exactly from
their respective end positions on slide #1?
This gets more challenging when we scale an object to a different
size (i.e., although it would not fit this example, if we were to
scale one of the bits of plank to 150%).
Athel made some comments about this a while back, and perhaps the
solution was in some of his comments - if so I apologize -
nevertheless, I would appreciate it if we could revisit this challenge.
Thanks as always for any ideas!
