Perspective Fly Page
The program places the layers at random heights with different sizes. They are arranged in a way
that when you view them from a particular point you see the mosaic picture.
The camera starts its movement from aside, where no layers are visible, and moves to the
viewpoint to show the whole mosaic.
Half-Fly Duration - It is a time for the camera to move from side view to mosaic view. (It takes
the same time for the movement from mosaic view to another side-view.)
Speed - Here you may select the relative speed of the camera. Linear means constant speed. Fast-Slow-Fast - means fast initial camera movement that slows down when the camera shows
mosaic, and faster movement when the camera goes to the side. Slow-Fast-Slow - full mosaic
will be viewed at the fastest speed.
Layers Z Positions Minimum/Maximum - This allows you to change the depth of the scene.
Below are controls that are common for all types of animation:
Preview Animation Slider - You may slide it to preview the animation.
Play/Stop Button - This will start or stop animation playback.
Note - The speed and smoothness of the playback depend from number of cells in your mosaic,
parameters of animation (especially the usage of color corrections) and overall performance of
your computer and its graphic card.
Draft Preview - It disables the most critical animation features. As a result, you'll see as smooth
animation as possible. Again, please note that there can be situations where your computer
performance could be not enough for playing your project in real-time. To enjoy smooth animation
with high resolution, please export the video into the movie file.
Export Movie Sequence - This will start Export procedure. You'll be prompted to select a file
name for the output movie. Along with completed animation movie file the program saves
separate move frames (i.e. a sequence of Jpeg files) in *.frames folder. This allows you to use
your favorite video editor to assemble the video from separate images or insert animation
sequence to your existed video footage without extra decoding-encoding cycle. If you don't need
it please delete the folder manually.
