Multicam features the same digital zoom and crop that can be found in the Mevo app. To access this feature tap the three dots on the camera that you'd like to adjust and select Crop and Zoom.
This will flip your device into landscape mode for better precision using the same control method as the Mevo 2.0 app.
Tap to crop: Tap a single finger on a part of your screen to instantly crop that part of the image.
To cut to a close-up of a subject in your shot, tap on the desired subject. For instance, if you have a specific speaker on a panel and want to see only that specific person, tap on their face; the camera will cut to a close up of their face.
Pinch to zoom: Place your thumb and index finger on opposite corners of the screen and pinch them together to zoom in real-time to a close-up of a specific part of your camera's view.
Zooming in and out is a great way to bring movement to your content.
To zoom in your shot, place your thumb in a lower corner and your index finger in the corner opposite of it. Drag your thumb and index finger closer together simultaneously in a pinching motion; they should meet over the subject to which you want to zoom in.
Drag to pan or tilt: When your shot is zoomed in, you can place a single finger on the cropped area and drag your finger across to move the shot from one area of the screen to the other.
Pan & Tilt
"Pan" means to move your camera shot left and right; "Tilt" means to move your shot up and down.
To pan a shot means to move your camera's view from side-to-side. Tilt is to move the shot top to bottom or bottom to top.
To pan or tilt your shot, simply place one finger over your active shot and drag it to the desired location. The shot will move with your gesture; the white box indicates where your finger currently is whereas the following box (red or blue) indicates what your viewers are seeing live. This allows for a smooth camera movement.
Multicam also has an Action Menu where certain commands appear if you tap and hold your finger on an area of the screen, shown below.
You can tap and hold to open a set of live options.
- Cut to this cropped area
The scissor icon will cut to that shot. This gives you the opportunity to see the shot before you cut to it; if you don't like the shot, remove your finger and try tapping another nearby part of the screen to get the right shot. - Fast zoom to this cropped area
The hare icon will perform a fast pan/zoom. - Slow zoom to this cropped area
The tortoise icon will perform a slow pan/zoom.
To zoom out slowly press down with two fingers and while holding them down spread your fingers apart till you've aligned the shot that you'd like and then lift one finger and hold till the menu pops up.
You can adjust the default speeds of the transitions between zooming and pans in Settings.
To cut to a close-up of a subject in your shot, tap on the desired subject. For instance, if you have a specific speaker on a panel and want to see only that specific person, tap on their face; the camera will cut to a close up of their face.
When you have taken a close-up shot (i.e. not in the full wide shot) a full-screen icon will appear to the left of the grid icon. Tap this to cut back to your wide shot.
