Calculation focus frames

Before you utilise the pan and zoom effect, you identify the objects in the prototype that you want to pan or zoom into using focus frames. Focus frames are resizable rectangles that place the location of the object in an prototype.

For images with more than three focus frames, simply the selected focus frame, and the focus frames previous and next to information technology in the sequence are displayed.

If a picture has not been analyzed previously, the following focus frames appear when you click the pan and zoom tool icon:

A. Resize handlersB. Focus frameC. Frame NumberD. Delete focus frameEast. Pan elapsingF. Zoom options for focus frames

ac_panzoom_timeline — Pan and zoom tool: Timeline and thumbnail view

A. TimelineB. Focus frame markerC. Thumbnail viewD. CTI (Current time indicator)

A focus frame on the consummate epitome.

In the Pan and Zoom tool, click New Frame to add Focus frames to the media.

Add focus frames manually

Double-click the object or area on which you want to add a focus frame.
Select the frame after which you want the new focus frame to appear, and click New Frame. The new focus frame appears in the center of the view expanse.

Select the new focus frame, and move the cursor over the frame until the pan (manus) icon appears. Drag to move the focus frame on acme of the required object.

To add together a focus frame between ii focus frames, move the CTI between their corresponding focus markers in the timeline. Click New Frame.

For images with more than than three focus frames, just the selected focus frame and the focus frames previous and next to it in the sequence are displayed.

Add focus frames to previously analyzed images

Frame hints are red colored rectangles displayed on the media. When you click a frame hint, it is converted to a focus frame.

Ensure that you click the frame hint only in one case. Double-clicking a frame hint adds two focus frames.

Modifying focus frames

Move focus frames

Move the cursor over the boundary of the focus frame until the pan (hand) icon appears.

Drag to move the focus frame on top of the required object.

Reorder focus frames to modify panning sequence (photos only)

The number on focus frames determines the panning sequence, the sequence in which objects are panned into. For example, the focus shifts to the object with focus frame three after the object with focus frame 2 is panned.

Do one of the following to alter the numbering of focus frames:

In the timeline, move the focus frame markers around based on the sequence you want the corresponding focus frames to appear. Changing the position of focus frame markers automatically renumbers focus frames in the society of their appearance in the timeline.
Move the focus frames around in the thumbnail strip.

Resize focus frames

Select the focus frame, and movement your mouse over whatever of the corners until the resize (double-sided arrow) icon appears. Drag to resize the frame.
To zoom incrementally, select the focus frame and move your mouse over the focus frame. Click the "+" or "-" zoom controls to incrementally change the size of the frame.

Delete focus frames

Move the mouse over the focus frame. Click the "X" push button, or press the Delete key.

Change pan duration

Changing the pan duration changes the time for moving from 1 focus frame to the next. The pan duration appears on the connector between ii focus frames.

In the Pan Fourth dimension dialog, scrub the time elapsing to the desired value, or enter a value in the dialog box.

Alternatively, you can arrange the focus frame markers in the timeline to change the pan duration.

Change agree time

Concord time is the duration for which the focus stays on an object before panning comes into result. Increasing the concur time increases the time for which the object is displayed when in focus.

Select the focus frame and move the mouse over the focus frame.

In Agree Time, scrub the time duration to the required value.

ac_holdtime_change — Change concord time

Alternatively, you tin change the hold time by horizontally dragging the correct side marker of a focus frame in the timeline.

Preview pan and zoom outcome

Click Play Output to preview pan and zoom effect in the preview panel. Alternatively, scrub the CTI to manually preview the effect.

Change default settings

In the pan and zoom tool, click Settings.

Customize the pan, and hold duration values based on your requirements.

Use zoom to accurately position focus frames

The zoom options in the pan and zoom toolbar help reduce the size of a focus frame beyond what is possible in the normal view.

For example, the focus frame in normal view is now reduced to a size beyond which it tin can exist reduced no further. Still, the size is even so not small enough for the object on which you want to focus. In such cases, zoom into the object, and then reduce the size of the focus frame.

Apply pan and zoom effect on videos
