In the 1.2 user manual, the comments for the kenBurnsEnd effect says that you can put in the ending rectangle for zoom/pan effects. I would like to apply a zoom effect to an image and have it end 100 pixels off center. Is this possible with this command? So far I haven't been able to get it to work. I have tried several combinations of parameters and just can't seem to get it to zoom to an area of the image.
The coordinates of the start and end rectangles should be defined on the image itself. So, if your image is 400x800, and your slideshow 300x200, then you can pan from bottom to top with:
kenBurnsStart = "0, 400, 400, 800" kenBurnsEnd = "0, 0, 400, 400" Ken Burns mode automatically sets "imageAlign" to "center" and "imageScaleMode" to" scaleToFill", so this means that Monoslideshow tries to fit the two Ken Burns rectangles of 400x400 inside a slideshow of 300x200. This means that these parts of the image are scaled to fill the screen ("scaleToFill"): the rectangle of 400x400 becomes 300x300 to fill in the slideshow, but this also means a part is cut off (from the top and bottom of this rectangle), because 300x300 doesn't fit entirely in 300x200. This is done to ensure that the slideshow is always filled with pixels, and there's no left-over space.
To summarize:
1. Start and end rectangle coordinates are defined on the image itself. 2. These rectangles are then scaled to fill the slideshow.
It is a verry nice script but I stil don't understand the working of the coordinates. My website is http://www.cafebuitenlust.nl/indexx.htm The slideshow is 535 x 357 pixels.
