Elements Color
Customize the color of the elements in the transition effects.
For effects where you can customize elements of the design by color, your Elements Color choices will change their color.
To copy a color from some element of the slide or point on the screen, right-click on the square with the color and then drag the cursor to this place. Release the right mouse button and the color of the pixel on the screen under the cursor will be selected.

Available options include white, lite, mid, dark, blue, and green.

Additional color settings for slide transition effects.
When you set one of the values for Color preset, it defines the values for Color1, Color2 and Color3. You can also set your own color values for Color1, Color2 and Color3 to fine tune the settings of color presets for effects.
When you set up the colors for Color1, Color2, Color3 yourself, bear in mind that each color has its own meaning and paints different transition elements.
Use this feature carefully as you can easily get a color combination that does not look good or is not appropriate.

Effects from sets marked "pics" allow you to select your own image(s) to be used in the transition effect.

The Slide Motion mode sets up additional slide motion that takes place at the end of a transition effect. Motion time is defined by the Slide Time value. Enabling the Slide Motion mode allows creating a continuous animation of slides in motion and transitions between them, with no static pauses. We recommend using it when showing slides in automatic mode or when converting a presentation to a video.
