Hi all, does anyone experienced this issue:

in Collage Video Designer the frame motion setting seems to works only at the beginning of the theme, it doesn't work at the end of the theme (please see app).

Hi Prosie -

I don't think there's any issue.

Obviously, if you select "Off/Spento" there won't be any animation but the opening & closing options work correctly. If you drop some clips in you'll see it better.

Thank you Tony, now I got it.

I was experiencing the issue because, in Collage Video Designer environment, I didn't drag any clip in the frames of the preview window. (have a look at my screen rec)

However, I expect the animation, as in opening option, do work also with closing option when all the frames are empty in the preview window.

Thank you very much again and best regards.

The Collage Designer needs some attention. It's a great idea but I feel Cyberlink did not go fully into the project and half-finished it. I've even been mulling in my head how to combine collages to get animation in front end and backend but it just seems too much fiddling and perfection is a way off.

Barry,

I have the same thoughts as you. It could be much more full-featured.
Here is a tutorial that puts animation at the beginning and end of the collage. It's rough, but works.

This should be a bug...
The preview does not work correctly when animation is set to during closing. Fortunately it works with clips added. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
