I have been working with the subject template and 'stretched' the duration from 12s to 16s to slow it down a little and then added another 4s at the end. I've been able to change the photos and text without any problems.
What I can't figure out how to adjust is the shadow to match when the book finally closes. The cover closes and the shadow takes another second to catch up. I don't see any key-frames to adjust to speed it up. What is controlling the shadow and where do I find it?
Mike, in real life, shadows come from the light, same thing in BT, shadows depend on the objects position and overall light position so you must look for the light layer (position, shadow intensity). Merry Christmas.

The shadow of the book is rendered by layer 84. Its 4 keyframes control the visibility of the shadow.

Thank You Vincent and Michiel. Greatly appreciated.
Michiel, are you sure you mean Layer 84 (EPS "ID_Star.eps") ? That Layer has no key frames. Layer 85 (Picture "ID_Black.jpg"+) does have 4 Key Frames though.
I was trying to work with Layer 87 (Picture "ReflectionMap_WhiteDots.jpg"+) that has 3 Key Frames but wasn't seeing much change.
I'll see what I can do with layer 84.
I think I've got it worked out with adjusting the transparency on Layer 87. Thanks again.

You must have added or deleted a few layers.
Layer 84 of template 25_MagicBook_Eternity.bt says: "Picture ID_Black.jpg"

Ah Ha, yep, you got me Michiel. I had forgotten about the Audio Layer I added and it was the Transparent adjustment in Layer 85 (Picture "ID_Black.jpg"+) that I adjusted, not my layer 87. Turned out nice and I was able to post it on my Facebook Page, although Facebook and Youtube really downgrade the resolution of the final product.
