Can a Zoom be delayed?

I suggest duplicating the layer and have the button click trigger this new duplicate layer.  So delete the zoom effect from the original layer after you make the duplicate.  Then add a trigger that has the button click show the duplicate layer  which has the zoom effect(you can add other functionality to that layer if the button click is supposed to trigger something else as well).

Thanks, but I think I'm still missing something.  The Zoom is only inserted to the base layer and doesn't appear to be timed by anything other than the number of seconds that have elapsed on the entire slide.  Wouldn't adding another layer just make it MORE likely that they'd miss the opportunity to click in the right place?

If it's possible to put the zoom onto the layer where you'd like it to reside, I'd do that, but it isn't an insert option on anything but the base.

It's difficult to offer a better solution without seeing your project.  Are you able to share any portion of it?

Hi Joyce,

If I fully understood what you're trying to achieve, then you can do something like this :

Insert a 'dummy' element off-slide (it can be anything) and time it to appear between your zoom action. Then attach a trigger like when the timeline of that element starts automatically shows a (new) empty layer (which pauses the base and allows user to click on the base).

Here's a screener for something similar...




Hope this helps,
Alex

zoom can only be on the base layer, unfortunately.

Thanks for your help, guys!  Sorry I didn't respond more quickly.  Alexandros, that interaction looks great, but it's a bit beyond what I need.  I think I'll just split the interaction to two slides so that the zoom can't begin sooner than I want it to.
