Zooming with frames

When we work in Prezi, we often need to zoom in or out to show a section or specific area of the canvas, rather than a single element. Sometimes the section that we want to show is small; sometimes it is a larger section.

This is easily done with frames. Frames are a fantastic tool because they put you in the driver's seat. By carefully using frames, it is possible to target the exact area of the canvas that we want to show.

In the following text and recipes, we will be using a red bracket frame for most purposes. That is because we want to ensure that the frame is clearly visible to you.

Normally in Prezi, the reality about zooms is that we typically use invisible frames. Invisible frames are our favorite for zooming purposes because they do not interfere with style, colors, or the general design of our prezi.

Take a look at the following screenshot, where the invisible frames on the car to the right do not disturb the design:
