Remember that we already have these layers below:

  • Background,

  • Left Bottom, Left Middle, Left Top,

  • Right Bottom, Right Middle, and Right Top.

The order of the layers will also matters in Sozi, the top most layer will also be shown in top most layer in Sozi, and also in the result of presentation.

Title: Entrance Frame Objects

In a nutshell the entrance frame objects is as below image:

Inkscape: Title: Entrance Frame Objects

  2. Sub Title: st-frame-01-01, X = 400px

  3. Date: dt-frame-01-01, Rotate 45 degrees.

Title: Additional Frame Objects

And the movement arrangement set in additional frame objects:

Inkscape: Title: Additional Frame Objects

  1. mt-frame-x30, X = -30px

  2. mt-frame-x70, X = -70px

  3. mt-frame-x100, X = -100px

The Frames

All the frames can be shown here.

Sozi: Title: All Frames and Layers

All the Frames are:

  • Start, Border One, Border Two,

  • Title In (entrance),

  • Title Move, Title Max, Title Back, Title Stop

  • Still (enable audience to see the last position for a few moment).

Set the frame positioning in Border Two as below:

And set the frame positioning in Title In as below:

Title: Additional Frame Objects

We have four more frames to go:

  • Title Move (move to the right, to 30px or 70px)

  • Title Max (move to the right to maximum 100px)

Set the frame positioning in Title Move as below:

  • Main Title: mt-frame-x30

Then adjust the frame positioning in Title Max as below:
