Adding Zooming and Panning to an Image

Step 1
First, the correct sound or time must already be set for this panel. Once that task is complete check the checkbox "Use Zooming and Panning".

Step 2
Using the arrows, zoom in on your image until both vertical and horizontal scrollbars appear around the image. Using the scrollbars, position the image where you want the zoom or pan to begin. Next press the "Capture Start Position" button to let BoardMaster know where your pan starts.

Step 3
Using the scrollbars, and zoom buttons if desired, relocate the image to where the zoom or pan will end. Next press the "Capture Finish Position" button to let BoardMaster know where your pan ends.

Preview
You can now use the "Start Test" button to do a test of this panel.

Delays
If you want a delay before the pan begins or a delay after the pan ends, these values may be entered in the "Start Delay" and "Stop Delay" edit fields. These values are in frames. Keep an eye on the values entered in this field. You cannot have values that do not make sense with regards to the length of time that the image is displayed. For example, if you have said that your image will play for 100 frames, it doesn't make sense that you would have a 120 frame delay before the pan begins.

It is not recommended to mix effects with zooming and panning. Do not set the start or finish pan positions unless both scrollbars are visible.
