Zooming out with frames

It is easy to zoom out to any section on the canvas using frames. All you have to do is frame the section that you want to show. Then set that frame as a step, and you are ready to go to that frame in the Present mode, where Prezi will show the chosen (framed) section of the canvas.

Getting ready

Perform the following steps on a new prezi:

1. Open a new blank prezi.
2. Delete any existing frames.
3. Insert an image, sizing it as you please.

How to do it…

1. In the top-left corner, choose a frame type in the Frame drop-down menu (you may use any type).
2. Click on the frame icon to insert the frame into the canvas.
3. Insert and adjust the frame so that it encloses the image and leaves a nice amount of space around it.
4. Switch to the Edit Path mode.
5. First, select the image to add it as a step to the path lane.
6. Then select the frame around the image to add it as step 2 to the path lane.
7. Click on Present to see how Prezi shows step 1 (the image) and then zooms out to step 2 (the frame).
