Appendix B: Touch-screen gestures 47
Pinch-In and Pinch-Out
To make a pinch-in or pinch-out gesture, slide your thumb and
forefinger towards or away from each other while maintaining
contact with the screen. Use this gesture to zoom the Timeline in
and out and to resize elements in Titles and picture-in-picture
clips.
Swipe
The swipe gesture is accomplished by sliding a single
finger along the screen to indicate a direction, then
lifting off to complete the motion. The gesture can be
repeated as needed for purposes such as scrolling
through lists.
Important uses for the swipe gesture in Pinnacle Studio
for iPad include pre-trimming, scrubbing on the Timeline, and navigating in the
Storyboard, the Library, and the Projects list.
During pre-trimming, swipe with one finger to add or remove a single frame, or
with two fingers to add or remove 10 frames.
Swipe on the Timeline to move or “scrub” through your project. As you do so, the
Playhead is engaged and the Preview displays the current frame.
Swiping on the Storyboard lets you move quickly to different locations in your
project without engaging the Playhead. To summon the Playhead to a new
position, tap the corresponding thumbnail in the Storyboard.
In the Library, swipe from left to right to navigate up one level. From within a
photo album, for example, you can swipe right to jump back up to the level where
all your albums are listed.
