Touch-screen gestures
The vocabulary of gestures you use to communicate with Pinnacle Studio for iPad
may take a little getting used to if you are unfamiliar with touch-screen devices,
but will quickly become second nature. Here’s a quick round-up of the gestures
you’ll need to use.
Tap and double-tap
A single tap selects an item for further
operations, and may cause related tools, such
as trim handles, to appear.
Double-tap opens the item, or performs its default action. In the case of Movie
Editor clips, double-tapping opens a clip properties panel for the item. It can also
be used to quickly add media from the Library to the Movie Editor.
Touch-and-hold, then drag
To touch-and-hold a Library or Movie Editor thumbnail, put
your finger on the item and pause a moment until it responds
by “detaching” from the primary interface to become a floating
icon under your finger. This begins the drag gesture, as you transfer the
clip by sliding your finger across the screen then lifting off at the destination.
Other interface items, such as trim handles, scrubbers, and sliders, also respond to
this combination of gestures.
