Add Zoom-n-Pan Effects

If you want to focus your audience's attention on important screen movements or actions, zoon-n-pan is the solution. This feature of DemoCreator allows you to zoom and pan in a specific area showing only the relevant parts of your scene in specific details and make your point clearly.


In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to:
• Add Zoom objects
• Change the Zoom Scale
• Change the Zoom Position
• Change the Zoom Duration
• Achieve the panning effect


Add Zoom Objects to Slides


The zoom objects can be added to some onscreen movements and actions for emphasis. To start to use the Zoom options in DemoCreator, click the Zoom-n-Pan object in the Objects Library and you will see the red rectangle in edit scence instantly, then you can drag the rectangle to adjust the zoom area. The rectangle area is the area you mean to zoom in for specific details.

Change the Zoom Scale


The zoom scale indicates the percentage of the selected area to zoom in or zoom out in the video. You can see the zoom scale in the zoom object of the time line. In the Zoom property dialog box, you can reset the default zoom scale and apply the zoom objects to multiple sides. To change the zoom scale:
1. Click and drag on a handle on the red zoom rectangle. The zoom percentage changes as you move the handle.
2. Double click the Zoom object in the edit scene or in the time line to change the zoom scale in the Zoom property dialog box.

Change the Zoom Position


The red rectangle on the edit scene is the position of the zoom area on the screen. Click and drag the direction indicatorDirection indicator of the rectangle around the recording scene to adjust the zoom position. For minor adjustment, the direction keys are available.


Change the Zoom Duration


When you put the Zoom object in the recording, you can see its length in the time line. The total Zoom length includes the Zoom in duration, Zoom out duration, and the time when the zoom area playing as the enlarged status. Easily modify the Zoom in duration and Zoom out duration in the zoom property dialog box.


Achieve panning effect


Put two zoom objects in the slides. Set them like this: link up the first slide with the next slide in the time line (put the second zoom object after the first one closely, they are connected together in the time line). The ruler in the time line is that, one zoom object can not overlay another. The second zoom object zooms and pans based on the first one, so the zoom out time of the first can not be changed in that case. Preview the slides, you will see it pans smoothly from the first zoom area to the second one.
