Making Videos and Pictures Exit the Scene
 If
you have a picture or video, and you want it to leave the scene by
fading away or shrinking, the easiest way to do this is to right
click the object and then select Make Object Exit.
This method will change the color path (and/or the size path) to
make the object fade or shrink and then disappear.
 First,
check the Fade and/or the Shrink check box. Then
click the Time button to set the time of the fade out or
shrink out. Finally, click the Make Object Exit button.
The object will disappear by fading and/or shrinking.
Videos can optionally have their volume fade away as well.
The Make Object Stay button can be clicked to undo the
effect of a fading object. NOTE: When an object is made
to exit, the color path and size path are changed. Clicking
Make Object Stay does not restore these paths to their original
state. If you have just made the change, you can undo it by
pressing CTRL-Z.
The Make Object Disappear button can be clicked to make an
object disappear instantly without fading or shrinking. When
this button is clicked, it is not necessary to first check Fade,
Shrink, or set the time. NOTE: This button does
not actually make the object disappear instantly. There is a
100th of a second delay. This is done so that you can still
see and edit the object on the screen without having to change the
current time.
Undo: All changes you make are saved, and you can undo
them by pressing CTRL-Z. To redo the change, press
CTRL-Y.
Exit Stage Right...
There is another way to make objects exit, which can be combined
with the above method. Right click the object, then select
Edit...Path. Click the Draw From Here check box.
  
Now drag the selected objects off the screen, and they will fly away
while fading or shrinking out.
