Zoom/shrink controls

Gentlefolk;
I have some very large screenshots (1600 pixels by 900
pixels) that I am using in a training application.
As the movie plays, I want the option of being able to have
the entire screen within a browser window (shrink to around 1000
pixels or so) but be able to zoom and pan to specific areas of
interest when the user wants to see the detail.
I am stumped about the approach. How do I accomplish this?
Turn the entire series of screen shots and audio into a movie clip,
then tween the size of the movie clip? But where do I go from
there?
Thanks!
Don

  • No zoom level controls on second monitor!

    I use a second monitor to display a loupe view of the photo I have selected in the grid view, which is on the first monitor.  I have always had the zoom-level controls (Fit, Fill, etc.) at the bottom of the loupe display on the second moitor, until I replaced my first monitor this week.  Everything else is still the same, but I no longer have the zoom controls on the second monitor.  This means that I cannot change the zoom levels that are availabel to me.  I either have Fit or 100% zoom.  Without the zoom controls on the second monitor I can't change the settings.  Does anyone know how to get the zoom controls back (or why they might have disappeared)?
    Thanks for any help.

    Never mind.  I found the problem (the second monitor was in full-screen mode).  Nothing
    to see here.  Keep moving.

  • My trackpad settings say the 2-finger zoom/shrink function is on, but it doesn't work - none of the 2-finger functions do. Any thoughts?

    I'm new to APPLE.
    My trackpad functions stopped working after a few months. The settings say they are all on, but they are not functioning. Any ideas on what I can do to get these back (especially the zoom/shrink). Thanks

  • Zoom shrinking instead?

    howdy,
    ok, so my cat walked across my keyboard recently, and for some reason i just can't figure, now when i hit the zoom shortcut key in aperture ("z"), my image gets smaller instead of zooming in. i've looked in preferences, in the menus, all around, but can't figure this one out.
    any ideas? i feel like such a noob.
    and before anyone asks, i'm sure i've got a large image to start with... it's a 10mp raw file. everything else seems fine, but hitting the "z" key makes the image shrink to about 2/3 size on the screen if in landscape, but if in portrait, it DOES zoom in a tiny bit (with the zoom navigation box showing almost full) . what am i doing wrong or not seeing in the menus.
    it's amazing what i've learned from my cat.

    Yea!
    yes, my cat is fairly clever. she once swiped at the mouse while standing on the keyboard and made the finder screen zoom way in - i'd never seen that mode before, either. quite a teacher. let me know if you want her to come over.
    many thanks for the quick answer, all is back in order. preview mode! can't think of when i'd ever use that, but at least i now know where it is!

  • Accessibility "zoom" - counterintuitive controls

    I am looking for a way to reverse the direction of scrolling it takes to initiate the screen zoom with trackpad and modifier key. As it is, scrolling "up" (towards the screen, away from the user) zooms in. Elsewhere (on other OSes I mean), this can be customized, and the default is what I consider to be more natural.
    If you read text on some actual sheet of paper, and there is fine print that's too small to read at the standard distance, you pull the paper closer to your eyes. That would naturally translate into using the trackpad to "pull" the screen content closer to you, not pushing it away. As it is, the gesture is pushing it away. The same orientation applies when using a mouse - scrolling towards you should zoom in
    It would be great if there could be a control field added in a future version which would allow to reverse this.
    My 88-year old Mom uses that feature all the time, and now after switching to a Mac, she has to adapt. For now, I would settle for some command line-level control setting where this could be changed.
    BTW, that gesture is labeled "Use scroll gesture with modfier key to zoom" but it does not seem to honor the global setting of the scroll sense. When I uncheck the "natural" scroll direction, it does not revert the direction it takes for the zoom.
    Any help or insights would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

    I just found a great workaround for the zoom and it works better than before.
    The zoom defaults to fullscreen zoom and when you have multiple monitors it zooms all of them. Normally I don't need to zoom all just the one monitor that I'm working on.
    Go to  "system preferences " ,"accessibility ", set zoom style to "picture in picture" and then click   "more options"  and then click "adjust size and location"  then you can set the zoom window to the size of a monitor. then when you zoom only the monitor you are on gets zoomed and is fast.
    Works for me. Hopefully helps others as well.

  • Zoom slider control

    I've been working on a project which uses some mapping and a zoom control:
    http://www.handprintwebdesign.co.uk/coverage/coverage3/coverage3.htm
    At the moment the zoom graphics are fixed, but would be good if we could possibly use something to indicate which zoom level is currently displayed, such as the slider on the weather map on the BBC weather site:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209

  • Charting zoom/pan control

    Using Measurement Studio 7.0 with C#, I wasn't able to set my Chart into "Zoom mode" like I could in 6.0 with VB6. The only solution is to shift-click/ctrl-click.
    Previously, I would use this code to create tool buttons the user could click on to set the chart into zoom mode and pan mode:
    Private Sub Toolbar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As ComctlLib.Button)
    Dim i As Integer
    Select Case Button.Key
    Case "ChartToolZoom":
    For i = 0 To NUM_STRIP_CHARTS
    strip1(i).TrackMode = cwGTrackZoomRectXY
    Next
    ' set new mouse icon
    FrmDataGraph.MousePointer = vbCrosshair
    Case "ChartToolPan":
    For i = 0 To NUM_STRIP_CHARTS
    strip1(i).Tr
    ackMode = cwGTrackPanPlotAreaXY
    Next
    ' set new mouse icon
    FrmDataGraph.MousePointer = vbSizeAll
    Case "ChartToolZoomOut":
    For i = 0 To NUM_STRIP_CHARTS
    strip1(i).Axes(1).AutoScaleNow
    strip1(i).Axes(2).AutoScaleNow
    strip1(i).TrackMode = cwGTrackAllEvents ' cwGTrackDragCursor
    Next
    FrmDataGraph.MousePointer = vbDefault
    'GraphHistory
    Case "ChartToolPrint":
    'CmdPrint_Click
    End Select
    End Sub
    Any help setting up such a tool interface again with 7.0 would be greatly appreciated. Also, is there an easy way to print a chart?
    Thanks,

    First, regarding the question about printing, here are several suggested links from MSDN about .NET Framework support for printing:
    Windows Forms Print Support
    PrintDocument class
    Introduction to the Windows Forms PrintDocument component
    Printing with the PrintDocument Component
    PrintPreviewControl class
    Introduction to the Windows Forms PrintPreviewControl
    PrintDialog class
    An example of how to print the graph with PrintDocument would be to add a PrintDocument component to your form, double click on the PrintDocument to generate an event for the PrintPage event, then do something like this (assuming you have a WaveformGraph or ScatterGraph called graph):
    private void OnPrintDocumentPrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
    Rectangle bounds = new Rectangle(e.MarginBounds.Location, graph.Size);
    ComponentDrawArgs args = new ComponentDrawArgs(e.Graphics, bounds);
    graph.Draw(args);
    When you're ready to print, call the Print method on the PrintDocument.
    Regarding the ability to enable an interaction mode without keyboard modifiers, there is not a direct way to do this. The advantage of the keyboard modifiers is that it allows you to have multiple modes enabled at the same time and a way to easily switch between them interactively, but the disadvantage is that there's not an easy way to toggle them via toolbars as you're trying to do. This is good feedback and I will file a suggestion to consider this for a future release.
    There is a way to workaround this by synthesizing the keystrokes for the interaction keyboard modifiers, though. Below is a helper class called AutoInteractionMode that will work with either WaveformGraph or ScatterGraph. To use it in your project, create a class member variable for the AutoInteractionMode, then initialize it in your constructor after the InitializeComponent call, like this:
    public class MyForm : Form
    private AutoInteractionMode _autoInteraction;
    // This could be a ScatterGraph as well.
    private NationalInstruments.UI.WindowsForms.WaveformGraph waveformGraph1;
    public MyForm()
    InitializeComponent();
    _autoInteraction = new AutoInteractionMode(waveformGraph1);
    Once this is hooked up, you can set the InteractionMode property to correspond to the modes that you're toggling via the toolbars, and the AutoInteractionMode should do the right thing when the mouse enters the plot area without the use of the keyboard modifier. Hope this helps.

  • How do I stabilize shimmering fine lines when zooming or panning?

    I just completed an HD video that was exported in Standard Definition (SD) using Apple ProRes 422 codec. The video came out fine except when the clip of a JPG image zooms in or out using the zoom motion controls. The fine detail "shimmers" or "flutters", especially when zooming at a point when the image is nearly all the way zoomed out. (the fine detail is the smallest, then.) This is not a typical de-interlace problem where the whole image is highly erratic. The disturbance only happens on the fine detail in the JPG; the thicker lines are not affected. I applied a de-interlace filter and then separately applied a de-flicker filter. Neither of these filters had any effect. I was told by a highly regarded technician at our local access station who I would evaluate as an expert in FCP that this shimmering affect for fine detail was normal, especially in SD. HD, he said, will greatly reduce but will not eliminate it.
    Does others have thoughts about this and possible solutions? Thank you

    The flickering is an artifact of the two field structure of interlaced video. It is a result of very thin (often horizontal) elements that exist on one scanline as is common in text or titling. This can also be the case in images with great deal of detail with high contrast as well as when when you are engaged in pan/zoom moves on stills.
    As the alternate fields play, the flashing element is essentially being turned on/off. The basic strategy is to get the element to exist over two scanlines so it is refreshed every time the field plays or to reduce the amount of contrast so the difference between ON and OFF is not noticeable.
    Before you start any of these steps listed below, make sure you are viewing your material on an appropriate monitor. If you are working in an NTSC/PAL interlaced format (eg DV) you need an external TV monitor - not a computer screen. Without the appropriate device, you are playing blind.
    Things to try (In increasing order of image degradation)
    • (in FCP) field order>none
    • (in FCP or Photoshop) reduce whites by 10% - reduces overly bright areas
    • (in FCP) flicker filter - minimum
    • (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical> .2 - .5 pixels - blurs vertically only
    • (In FCP or Photoshop) Gaussian blur> .2 - .5 pixels -blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
    • (in FCP or Photoshop) deinterlace - throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned images
    Remember: Unless you are viewing your work in the appropriate external NTSC/PAL monitor, you are playing blind. The computer monitor only shows you a proxy image.
    One final thought, if you have slowed your material significantly, and have not used some sort of frame blending/optical flow processing, you may be simply duplicating frames to create the additional material to pad the playback. The flashing you see is the result of this.
    good luck.

  • Premier Elements vs. Pro for Pan and Zoom Photo Slide Shows

    I am a professional architectural photographer. I need to create videos using a set of photos, and I need the ability to pan and zoom to specific parts of each photo.  I need to be able to tell the software where to pan from and to, and where to zoom in or out.  For example, I might start at the left side of a photo, pan toward the left side of the photo, then stop panning and zoom in.  I need to control the speed of the pan and zoom, and control where they happen within each photo.  I will not be dealing with video, only still photos.
    I have seen a video demonstrating this capability in in Premier Pro.  Can it also be done in Premier Elements?

    rvomund
    Please check out the Adobe document on it Pan and Zoom Tool and that feature's workspace
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/pan-zoom-create-video-like.html
    There is a difference using this tool for video versus stills. And, since you mention that you will be using just stills, I have
    not gone into pan and zoom applied to video with this tool.
    Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Before any purchase decisions, good idea to look at the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe.

  • Magic Mouse Zoom

    Having trouble zooming with Magic Mouse. Working within an application like Sketchup, I used to be able to zoom in and out continuously using the scroll wheel on a conventional mouse. But with the new Magic Mouse, no similar function seems to exist. Screen zooms and two finger taps to move in and out just don't cut it. Any advice?

    If your preference screen has changed then it's probably a conflict with a 3rd party driver.  USBoverdrive is one that causes this.  Your prefpane should look like this.  The control Scroll zoom is controlled the the Accessibility prefpane.

    You can listen to whomever you wish.
    But here's why I'm telling you what I am.
    I've been doing this type of thing with still images from a Nikon D200 and now D300 and intercutting them to a video shot with a HVX200, and now HPX170 and HMC150 for more than three years.
    FCP does not have the controls to achieve a professional result.
    More than that, its ease in/out controls jump the image and provide sparse control over the areas of interest and the zoom/pans, among other things.
    I love Noise Industries products. I've tested this one. It's better than some.
    But the interface isn't conducive to a good workflow, and you need to render to see results.
    I respect David's opinions on just about everything.
    But I have tried just all of them - FCP, AE, Motion, Still Life, Moving Picture, PhotoToMovie, Lyric Media's product, and this one from Niclas's NI collection, etc.
    FotoMagico is inexpensive and produces far better results than anything I've seen. And it is so much easier and intuitive to use.

  • Zoom Panel

    Hi, would someone please give me the idea about how to implement this function in AS2.0:
    http://activeden.net/item/zoom-pan-controls-with-dynamic-image-settings/15713
    It keeps zooming in/out while the buttons are pressed, and that makes the animation smooth, besides, the scaling is around the center point of the view window, not the center of the image.
    thanks a lot~~

    The basic idea involves placing a movieclip (of the image) inside another movieclip (empty-centered on stage).  To pan the image you manage the x and y positions (or use drag/drop code) for the inner movieclip.  For the centered zooming you change the _xscale/_yscale properties of the outer movieclip.

  • Cannot pinch/zoom with trackpad when in Mail

    When using Mail (and Lion), full screen, the trackpad does not respond to pinch/zoom or control/2 fingers up. Is the zoom feature of trackpad supposed to work in Mail?  It does work in Safari.

    Mail doesn't support the pinch/zoom feature.  It does support CNTL scroll up zoom feature though.
    Some people have found cntl scroll up zoom feature quits working occasionally.  I've had it happen once or twice.  In this case you can put the screen to sleep and then wake it, the feature will operate again.
    I defined an active screen corner for this is purpose in System Preferences > Mission Control > hot corners.. button.

  • Zoom slider adjust

    In the basic library window, the "zoom slider" control seems to have changed its setting.
    Previously, I could zoom from very tiny thumbnails up to a single image quite smoothly. Now, however, I can go from about 10 across to 4. Then, even the slightest movement causes the zoom to go to a single image.
    There is no way for me to look at 3 or 2 across anymore. Is there an adjustment for the speed at which the slider works? I've tried moving fast and slow, with no change in results.

    Paul:
    Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Surprisingly enough a damaged preference file can cause a number of seemingly unrelated issues.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
