Doodly Beginner Video Tutorial: Pan and Zoom
Note: This should be named Pan, Tilt, Zoom or PTZ. This documentation will refer to it as PTZ.

Pan: Left or Right movement.
Tilt: Up and Down movement.
Zoom: Increase or Decrease the depth to the canvas.

Usage

PTZ is all about focusing the viewers attention and not special effects but it can be use to create pseudo special effects.

Examples

  • Zooming into a specific area on the canvas to focus the viewers attention on that spot.
  • Pan to another area on the canvas.
  • Tilt up and down on an asset.
  • Create a scrolling credits effect.
    Watch our Scrolling credits video tutorial for more information on how to accomplish this effect.
