If Starting point is selected, the cinematic shot begins with the current view. During the animation, the model may move off the screen. If this happens, you may want to select Ending point so the model appears to move into position and stay there. PROFESSIONAL TIP PROFESSIONAL TIP The Preview button in the New View/Shot Properties dialog box is the best way to test any changes you make to the motion options. Each time you make a change, pick the button to see if the effect is what you want. Previewing each change is far more effi - cient than making several changes before you examine the results. Movement Type The Movement type: drop-down list in the Shot Properties tab of the New View/ Shot Properties dialog box is used to select the motion for the cinematic shot. There are eight types of camera movement that can be used with a cinematic shot: • Zoom in. • Zoom out. • Track left. • Track right. • Crane up. • Crane down. • Look. • Orbit. The options available in the Motion area of the tab are based on which movement type is selected. The movement types and their options are discussed in the next sections. Zoom In When Zoom In is selected in the Movement type: drop-down list, the camera appears to zoom into the model in the shot. This movement type has two options, Figure 20-12. The value in the Duration: text box is the length of time over which the animation is recorded. The value in the Distance: text box is the distance the camera travels during the animation. The camera zooms in to cover the distance in the speci- fi ed duration of time. When Zoom In is selected, the camera drop-down list is automati- cally set to Ending point. Keep in mind that with this option the current position of the camera represents the fi nal display after the cinematic shot is complete. Zoom Out When Zoom out is selected in the Movement type: drop-down list, the camera appears to zoom away from the model in the shot. This movement type has Duration: and Distance: text box options, as described for the Zoom In movement type. When Zoom out is selected, the camera drop-down list is automatically set to Starting point. With this setting, the camera will zoom out the specifi ed distance and the fi nal image in the shot will be smaller than the preview image. If this is not the effect you want, it may be better to pick Ending point for the current position of the camera. Then, the model will appear to move from behind your view to stop at the current view. Set the duration Set the distance Figure 20-12. The settings for the Zoom In movement type.
