I'm very clear on how to use the zoom region feature, but I seem to be having a problem with the effect starting already zoomed in at the beginning of the frame.
1. The zoom region starts on frame 0. I checked that first thing)
2. Your tutorial video clearly states that you can start already zoomed in without it showing the full frame for a quarter second prior.
I've tried this now on two frames, and each are like this. It shows the whole slide for a blip, then quickly starts the zoom region, then gradually zooms out like it should.
Is this just a bug because I'm "previewing" this? Will it look normal once published?
Darryl, prior to previewing or publishing, try right-clicking on the region you have zoomed and set the Zoom Transition Speed to "Instantaneous." Does that help?

Yes, the effect now starts at the beginning of the slide. I guess I have to then make a new zoom after it to zoom it out? If so, thanks for the help! I'll try that out right now, in fact...
Tried this approach, but I'm still finding that the slide plays at its normal zoomed-out state for a split second, then instantaneously zooms in, and then zooms out. The odd thing is if I replay the slide, it behaves as it should.
Hi! I think I found another post that said it was a Java issue. I made it so that I only zoomed in after the slides start rather than beginning in a zoom, and that was fine! Thank you!

Yep, two of those back to back works. Thanks.

I am having this problem too!
Liz, can you post a .story file with just the slide you're having trouble with? We'll be happy to take a look.
