Gesture Walkthrough
The Mevo app supports intuitive gesture controls that help you direct your stream in real time. These include:
Tap to cut: Tap a single finger on a part of your screen to instantly crop that part of the image.
While in Live Editing View, tap on any subject to cut to that view instantly.
If you tap and hold, a white box will appear. Drag your finger to reposition the crop or use a second finger to adjust its size. Releasing your finger will take the shot live.
Pinch to zoom: Use two fingers to zoom in or out of the live shot in real time.
To zoom in, place your thumb and index finger on opposite corners and pinch together. To zoom out, spread them apart. A white box shows your gesture; the red/blue box shows what the audience sees.
Drag to pan or tilt: Move your finger over the cropped shot to pan (left/right) or tilt (up/down).
Place one finger on your zoomed-in shot and drag to pan or tilt the active view. The shot will smoothly follow your motion with the white box indicating your finger's position.
Action Menu: Tap and hold to open gesture-based controls like static shots, slow pans, and fast pans.
- Add Static Shot: Tap+hold and select the + icon.
- Cut to Crop: Tap+hold and select the scissors icon.
- Fast Zoom: Tap+hold and select the hare icon.
- Slow Zoom: Tap+hold and select the tortoise icon.
You can adjust zoom/pan transition speeds in settings. Go to More Options → General Settings → Audio & Video → Action Menu.
Return to Wide Shot: Quickly cut back to your full wide angle shot.
When zoomed into a subject, tap the wide shot icon to cut back to the full camera view.
Tap and hold the wide shot icon to trigger the Action Menu for a fast or slow pan back to the wide view.
