Zoom out
Zooming out means going from a smaller section of the canvas to a relatively bigger section of the canvas in the Present mode.
Zooming out is a great tool that is typically used for visual illustrations on the canvas, when the content of the presentation shifts from a detailed level to some degree of overview of the canvas.
The biggest zoom-outs in Prezi are path steps that are overviews of the entire canvas, which many presenters use to open or close their presentations.
Getting ready
- Open a new blank prezi.
- Delete any existing frames.
- Insert an image, sizing it as you please. We inserted a green car.
- Insert a second image. Make this image larger than the first image. We inserted a red car.
We will use the prezi shown in the following screenshot. We want our presentation to begin by showing the green car. Then we want it to zoom out so that the next step shows the red car.
How to do it…
- Switch to the Edit Path mode.
- First, click on the smaller image to add it as a step to the path...
