Click on the Frame Icon to add a Frame.

%%*%% The Frame is added to the Objects and Animation Screen

%%*%% The Size of the Frame is the Project Size and it "Fits" the Screen

%%*%% The Zoom for the Frame is 100% when it Fits the Screen

%%*%% The Opacity of the Frame is Zero

%%*%% Frames can be added to other frames (Parent / Child) and can be renamed in the Common Tab

%%*%% Using the Multiple Frames approach animation can applied to each frame independently

%%*%% Pan motion is applied to the Pan Frame

%%*%% Zoom motion is applied to the Zoom Frame

%%*%% Rotation is applied to the Rotate Frame

%%*%% The Object can also be animated independently of the three frames

%%*%% Frames can be made "Transparent to Selection"

%%*%% Note that in the above example:

  %%*%% The Object is at the "Front"

  %%*%% The Pan Frame is at the "Rear"

%%*%% An Independent Frame or Object which is placed "above" another Independent Frame or Object in the Objects List is also "above" in terms of Selection

%%*%% "Higher" Independent Frames or Objects in the Objects List need to be made "Transparent to Selection" to be able to Click on and Select "Lower" Independent Frames or Objects

%%*%% This also applies to Published Exe Files which have HyperLinks on Objects

When working in the Objects and Animations window it is sometimes advantageous to add a frame, the dimensions of which differ from the project size. An example would be to create a square frame in a 3:2 Project.

%%*%% Open a second instance of PicturesToExe and make is project size equal to the frame that you want to create e.g. 600×600

%%*%% Go to Objects and Animation

%%*%% Add a frame, which will be 600×600

%%*%% In the Objects Panel Copy the 600×600 Frame

%%*%% Return to the original instance of PicturesToExe

%%*%% Paste into Objects and animation
