Use Any Image as a Callout

Create your own custom callouts by adding an image file (BMP, GIF, PNG, or JPG) to the timeline.

All images added to the timeline are callout-ready.

To Use an Image as a Callout or Title Clip

1. Drag an image to the timeline.

2. To add text, double-click. The Callout task page appears for text editing.

3. Grab a handle to adjust the size and rotation.

Press and hold the ALT key while dragging the clip for 3-D rotation.

4. If desired, Add a hotspot to your callout.

5. Not all callout effects are available for images being used as callouts (fade in/out for example). Effects

such as drop shadow, border, color, and opacity can be found in the Visual Properties tab.

Use transitions to fade the image callout in or out. Experiment with the various transitions to

give your image callout a unique effect.
