Utilizing Camera to Create Close-Ups

In CrazyTalk, you may create camera movements in the Stage panel. The effects can be added by setting keys in the Camera track or by utilizing the Auto Zoom feature to zoom in on the model or models who are speaking to generate close-ups.

Setting Camera Keys Manually

1. Switch to the Stage panel on the Script page.

2. Click the Camera Editor button to invoke the panel.

   

   • : Select one or more of the three buttons on the left and drag in the Interactive Area to Pan, Zoom and Rotate the camera. Click the right-most button to deselect all tools.

   • Click the Default Key button to initialize the position and angle of the camera to the origin.

   • Click the Resume button to abort any adjustments that were made since the Set Key button was last clicked.

3. If you are satisfied with the camera effect, click the Set Key button to add a new key into the camera track.
   

4. You may check the Auto Key checkbox so each camera move you make will automatically overwrite the data of the current camera key.

Auto Zoom

This feature frees you from having to set camera keys one by one. By checking the Auto Zoom box, the camera will automatically zoom in on all the models who are speaking. The theory is describe in below illustration:

Zoom to the monologist	Zoom to the two speaking models	Zoom to the other monologist

• Slow/Fast: Adjust the slider to decide the camera's transitioning speed between each close-up.

• Zoom In/Zoom Out: Adjust the slider to decide how far or close the camera should zoom in on the speaking models.
