Written walkthrough

The camera acts too. In a clip, every cut keeps the framing you gave it, so a film can zoom, reveal, and whip around. This is the same build as the Camera Moves card in the Learn tab.

1. Set the stage

Place a fig on the Figs tab. A chase needs a runner.

2. Open the camera

Tap the Camera tab, then Clip. The strip rides along.

3. Cut close, cut wide

Frame the fig big and tap Cut!. That camera is saved with the cut. Swing back and wide, then Cut! again. Play it with : the film jumps from close to far, because every cut keeps its own camera.

4. Stretch a hold

Tap a cut, then its Hold chip. Each tap holds that moment longer. Long holds linger; short ones snap. See Cut cinematography .

5. Jump around

Tap any cut and the stage jumps to that moment. The ring shows the live cut. Fix the framing, and the next Cut! lands after it.

Sound and words ride the cuts too: see Sound and Words .
