Zoom Out Effect - So Close!
Oct 24, 2018
I am working on creating a workaround for zooming in/out with a trigger. I was hoping to a) use it myself and b) share it with this community as it seems (as far as I can tell) this has been discussed but this exact thing hasn't been done. (If it has, please let me know!)
I am creating an interactive info graphic and I'd like the learner to click on a piece of the diagram, zoom in for more info, then click again to zoom out. Here's how I have it set up:
slide 1 - learner clicks an icon. trigger advances to next slide
slide 2- zoom region automatically zooms in and stays zoomed. text appears. learner clicks again and trigger advances to next slide.
slide 3-zoom region set to zoom out, trigger set to advance to main slide when timeline ends.

I was super stoked because I thought this would work; however, when I click to zoom out the full slide shows for a moment before advancing to the zoom out slide. Any feedback on what might be happening here and how to fix it would be so very appreciated! (File attached above)
Hi Nadia,
I changed the Slide Transition to none instead of Fade Smoothly and I don't see the full slide before it advances.
Hope that helps.
Ug! That slide transition is part of the template I was using and I did NOT think about it. Thank you so SO much and I'm so glad it was such an easy fix.
Much appreciated!
Hi, I created a zoom in region with a very slow transition until the end of the slide. When it advances to the next slide, there is a slight jump. Is there a way to zoom/transition out very slow before advancing to the next slide?
Hi there, Christine. I created a quick example which has a zoom region on slide 1that I have set to show until the end when the slide jumps to slide 2. There is a brief pause once the zoom region completes before the slide jumps. Then, I have a transition on slide 3 so that clicking Next on slide 2 causes slide 3 to "zoom" into view.
Let me know how you're setting this up, and we'll see how we can help!
Hi Christine (and everyone else in this thread),
I wanted to share a template version of the solution I created to resolve my original inquiry. Please feel free to download and use as you see fit.
Thanks, Nadia for sharing here! I'm certain others will appreciate it and find it useful.
Thanks, Crystal and Nadia, for the examples. It was very helpful!
IMVHO, a true pan and zoom feature in SL is long overdue. This includes setting the zoom speed for the number of seconds that you want.
As a user also of Vyond for creating videos to use in SL360, the way they do this with setting camera positions is very elegant and simple. Something similar in SL would be very welcome.
Time for another feature request on this. :)
