How to use Magic Move
Magic Move animates the change from one slide to the next: objects that are on both slides glide to their new place and size, and change color, while the rest fades in or out. It's reveal.js's auto-animate.
Arrange the slide as it should look before the change.
- Click an empty part of the slide, so that nothing is selected, and open the Animate tab.
- Click Duplicate for Magic Move. Cadenza adds a copy of the slide right after it, with Magic Move already turned on.
On the copy, move, resize, rotate or recolor the objects: this is how they will look after the change. You can also delete objects (they fade out) or add new ones (they fade in).
- The slide list shows both slides; the copy is the one that changes.
- Magic Move is on for the copy. It's what animates the change into this slide.
Play from the first slide (Shift+F5 plays from the current one) and move to the next: the objects move to their new places. Going back plays it in reverse.
- Objects are matched because one is a copy of the other. Duplicating a slide keeps that link, and so does copying an object and pasting it onto another slide; an object you draw anew on the second slide counts as a different one, even if it looks the same.
- To make a sequence, duplicate the copy again and rearrange it once more, as many times as you like.
- You can also turn Magic Move on for any slide in the Animate tab, with nothing selected.
- The time it takes is set for the whole presentation in Document > Transitions > Magic Move.
- Builds still work on a Magic Move slide: the move happens first, then the slide's builds play one click at a time.
