Create Eye Catching Event Screens

​
RightBooth provides unrivalled design and animation capabilities that allow you to get as creative as you need.

The video clip (below) is a desktop video capture that shows an animated RightBooth event start screen comprising two rotated, overlapping image sequence items, each showing a set of photos.  The photos have been set to animate on and off the screen using a combination of a push and a fade animation, and this article explains how you can achieve the same effect in your events.

How to...

• In RightBooth, open your event
• Go to the Screen Editor
• On the Start screen, click the Properties checkbox (on the Editor Toolbox) to show the 'Screen Properties'  panel...
• Click the Image button (circled in red) to choose a background image from the RightBooth Media Library.

In our example video clip (above) we have picked a background image from the Wedding and Valentine folder.

Next...

• Show the Add Items panel
• Click the Image sequence button to add a new empty image sequence item to the start screen.
• Double click on the new image sequence item to show the Image sequence files panel.
• Here you can select one or more images to use as content for the sequence item.

​In our example we have chosen 3 images from the Media Library, but you can select images from other folders on your computer.  You can also select 'Show photos from the event' to cause photos taken during the event to be shown.  You may also want to select Random order to cause the images to be shown in a different order each time the start screen is shown.

Next, add a second image sequence item to the Start screen and add a different set of photos into it.

Now, select one of the image sequence items on the Start screen and show the Image sequence properties panel.

Set the following properties:

• Opacity:  0.7
• Clip: Not ticked
• Animate: Push left
• Speed: 20  (seconds)
• Pause: 0  (seconds)

Then select the second image sequence item on the Start screen and add the same properties but use the following animation:

• Animate: Push right

You will now have 2 image sequence items animating on the screen.

The final step is to re-size the two items to make them larger and to also rotate them both slightly.
To do this, it helps if you reduce the zoom factor of the screen view while you make your changes/

In the screenshot below you can see that we've reduced the Screen Editor zoom factor to 0.6 (circled in red) to allow resizing the items and moving them slightly off the edge of the screen and to also allow for rotating and overlapping the two items...

Job done !!

​You've just created an amazing effect for your Start screen, and it's one that's guaranteed to attract your users!

Repeat everything above, but this time instead of using Image sequence items, use Video sequence items
