Zooming
Zoom out: The selected picture section is displayed and is then zoomed
out to display the entire picture according to the time set in “Length of
movement”. If no portion is previously set, a central portion of 50% of
the picture is set.
Zoom in: The entire picture is displayed and then zoomed in to show
only a smaller picture section according to the time set in “Length of
movement”. If no portion is previously set, a central portion of 50% of
the picture is set.
Duration
The option selected here sets the position where the keyframes of each movement
effect are set by default. You determine the positions where a movements begins and
ends.
Note: Automatically placed keyframes may be edited retroactively, and the option
will then be set to "Use custom settings". Read the section "Retroactively editing an
effect's keyframes" (view page 148) in the chapter "Objects".
Reset: This option applies a static zoom to show the selected section of the
picture only.
The size and the position of the image can be roughly entered in the program monitor
by simply moving the image into it and dragging on the handles. The frame of the
video monitor with handles can also be moved with the keyboard.
Keyboard shortcuts for moving the edges of the frame that are visible in the video
monitor:
Nudge the screen 1 pixel: Arrow keys
Nudge the screen 5 percent: Shift + arrow keys
For animated movement effects, it often makes sense to zoom out of the video
monitor and use the resulting workspace to, for example, let a minimized image or
text object move through the picture.
Keyboard shortcuts for the preview picture:
Thumbnail zoom in/out: Ctrl + mouse wheel
Move thumbnail: Ctrl + left mouse button + drag
See the "Animation from outside of the image" (view page 151) section for more
