Question

Edit Slide At Time With Motion Paths

See images below. Image 1 is paused at T=0. Image 2 is during live playback and Image 3 is paused at T=13ish.

I need to put the shield around the middle circle at T=23 but the middle circle goes through a zoom before then so at T=23 it's larger (and on other slides in different locations even).

Currently I just try to use guides and adjust it through trial and error but it would be nice to know if this is normal.

Is there a way to pause the preview and edit the slide with all the elements in place? Is it normal that they snap back to their original positions when paused in the editor?

Thanks!

    Nothing? Am I the only one who uses captivate to animate items on the screen? It's very frustrating and really slows down workflow to have to eyeball where things are going to be for placing later elements. Surely there is just a keyboard shortcut or something that would allow me to pause the slide and edit it at a location in time.

      I agree. I wish Captivate had the ability to specify end points for animations. Then, if i want it to move on one slide and be in the exact same spot in the next slide, I don't have to play trial and error to get it to line up perfectly.
