Pan and Zoom within a set Frame

Hi there, Brian! Good idea reaching out to the community with your sample. I wanted to share this tutorial from our Storyline 3 User Guide about creating a panning effect in case it's helpful.

I hope you get some good input!

Thank you for the suggestion Crystal. After trying it, I still don't think it is going to do what I want. My sample creates a section of the canvas where the zoom takes place without using the entire canvas. Not sure if Storyline has that capacity, just by itself

was wondering if anyone has a solution for this?

wanted to bring this back up. Let's say I have an 80/20 template, the 20% is text and I want it to stay on screen at all times, but I want the pic in the 80 section to zoom in without overwriting the text. How can this be done?

Hi Brian!

Could you create this effect using layers? If you can share a sample slide, folks in the community can help you mock something up. 

Here ya go. In the project below, I just simulated a zoom in slide 2. I would like for slide one to zoom into that, but stay inside the video "box" created, so the title and text boxes are not covered up. 

Thanks!!

I was checking to see if anyone may have a fix for this. Again, I am wanting to zoom a pic or video, but within a desired frame, not the entire slide.

The only way I know how to do this now, is to edit and create the zooms in a program like camtasia and then import the video file into storyline and set the height and width. 

I would like to be able to do this function in storyline. Thanks!

Please see the above doc for a visual representation

Hey Brian,

I'm looking forward to seeing what the community comes up with for you.

I took a look at your file and you can see a couple of different options that you could play with on Slide 1.1 with Layers/Animations as Alyssa shared above.

Slide 1.2 demonstrates how the Zoom Region can work, but it will not stay in the frame as you mentioned.

Thanks Leslie! I suppose this could get done with some coding wizardry. Not in my wheel house

I understand Brian - same here :)

We do have some amazing wizarding folks here in the forums though!

I would try adding the zoomed in pic to a scrolling panel and size the panel's height so that there is no visible scroll bar. The scrolling panel effectively acts like a mask that makes sure that the larger pic version doesn't overlap the surrounding content.

Hi! Just checking in. I was wondering if anyone had an opportunity to look at this. If you will look at "zoominbox.story" I posted about a year ago, you can see what I am trying to accomplish. Right now, I have to create the "zooms" in a separate program and render them as videos.

It would be nice to do this in SL and confine it to a set frame while other parts of the slide remain intact

Hi - I am assuming by the lack of solutions that this cannot be done, but just in case something has changed in the past year . . . 

In the attached example, I would like to be able to have the zoom region work on the picture but not the whole slide (or at least come up with a way of keeping the title visible). I tried Michael's suggestion of a scrolling panel but couldn't get it to work that way. I also tried several variations of layers, to no avail. The Zoom Region wants to be on the top on the timeline so I can't put a text box on top of it.  If the answer involves Java script, I'm in trouble because java is what I drink several times a day and shouldn't be near my laptop.

Thanks!
