Inserting a pause in the movie

There may be points in the movie at which you wish to pause playback until the user indicates that it can continue. This may be to give them time to read a text box or take a good look at something that has happened on-screen.

BB FlashBack allows you to insert text boxes at which the movie will pause during playback. The movie remains paused until the user clicks the mouse or presses a key.

 

How to insert a pause in a movie:

  1. On the Player main menu select Add Text… from the Edit menu.

  2. Set the text you want to appear, and the style of the text box in the usual way.

  3. Check the Pause movie at this text box… box.

 

How to change the image that appears when the movie is paused:

  1. On the Player main menu select Set Pause Graphics from the Edit menu.

  2. Select a bitmap file.

The selected bitmap will now appear when the movie reaches an inserted pause.

To revert back to the default pause image, select Set Default Pause Graphics from the Edit menu.

 

 

How to change where the pause graphic appears:

  1. On the Player main menu select Set Pause Graphics Position from the Edit menu. The pause graphic will appear in the movie area.

  2. Use the mouse cursor to position the pause graphic. When you are satisfied with its position, leave it and carry on with any other editing operations.

The pause graphic will appear in the position you selected, when the movie reaches an inserted pause.
