Stage
Zoom canvas and camera path
面向教师
The whole course as one large surface, the presentation as a flight from stop to stop — and within a slide stops that are zoomed in one after another in time with the voice.
用途#
Show connections: first the whole, then the detail. The canvas makes the structure of a course visible, the camera path directs attention to what is being talked about.
使用方法#
操作路径CoursePublishPresentAs zoom canvas
- 1Open “Publish” → “Present” → “As zoom canvas” (also from the workshop cockpit).
- 2Choose “Mode”: “Presentation” or “Arrange”.
- 3Presentation: “Play” flies the path, at every slide the speaker speaks. Whoever zooms or pans themselves stops it; “Next (→)” continues, “Overview (O)” shows the whole course, “Full screen (F)”.
- 4Arrange: clicking a slide selects it (several with Shift), dragging moves, the round handle changes the size; fine-tune “Size” and “Rotation”; “Arrangement” circle, row or spiral; choose “Background” (图 1).
图 1 The toolbar of the zoom canvas: arrangement, size, rotation, background and the path. - 5Maintain the “Path”: insert selected slides as a stop (“Slide”), show several together (“Group”), zoom into a detail (“Section”) or “Default” (overview → per module overview and slides → overview). Order stops with “Up”/“Down” or remove them.
- 6“Save this canvas” — the header shows “saved” with the time or “Suggestion — not yet saved”.
- 7Camera path within a slide: in the slide editor “Insert” → “Camera path” (see below).
设置与开关#
功能目录中没有独立开关——该功能属于其所在环境。
- Part of the module “Course Studio”; the camera path belongs to the new slide editor.
Kinds of stops#
- Overview — the whole course
- Slide — one slide
- Group — several slides together
- Section — a detail of a slide that is zoomed into
Camera path within a slide#
- In the slide editor “Insert” → “Camera path”: add “Stop around the selection” or “Whole slide”; without stops the slide stays still.
- On the slide drag a stop at its edge or its number, drag a corner to make it larger or smaller — it keeps the aspect ratio of the slide.
- In the list “Earlier”, “Later” or “Delete stop”.
- The “Camera path timeline” shows when the camera moves to which point: at the markers ⟨r⟩ in the narration; without matching markers evenly over the speaking time; without narration 2.5 seconds per stop.
- “Test run” plays the path — space pauses, arrows jump from stop to stop, Esc closes.
The timing of the stops follows the same rule as the build-ups in the player (markers ⟨r⟩ in the narration); a guard compares the editor's calculation with the player's.
Who may do what#
Every author of the course; the canvas requires signing in and saves per course.
提示#
- Keys of the canvas: ← and → (or Page Up/Down) for previous and next stop, Home or O for the overview, F for full screen; in presentation mode also the space bar.
- Dragging an empty area pans, the mouse wheel zooms. A click on a stop in the list flies there; new stops are inserted after the marked one.
- Background music gets quieter during speech.
