Springboard's Automatic Zoom feature translates Zoom Frame vectors into camera movement in animatics and when exporting a movie.

To use Automatic Zoom with a new file:

1. Draw your frame content.
2. Select the Camera layer in the Layers Palette.
3. Select the Zoom Frame tool, drag out a new vector, and position it where you want it.
4. View the resulting camera move with the Go > Play command.

The camera move starts at the beginning of the frame, and extends to the end of the frame, using a simple linear interpolation. More options for controlling the start, duration, and ease-in/ease-out of Automatic Zoom will come in a future version of Springboard.

To use Automatic Zoom with an old file:

For files created with a version of Springboard older than 0.7, Automatic Zoom is disabled by default, so that existing animatics will not be changed without your permission. To turn on Automatic Zoom in an older file:

1. Ensure View > Story Tree/Properties View is turned on, so you can see the Properties palette.
2. Select the frame for which you want to activate Automatic Zoom.
3. Check the Animate camera box in the Frame Properties dialog.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each frame containing a Zoom Frame vector that you want to be animated automatically.

To disable Automatic Zoom on new frames:

Newly-created frames (in old or new files) have the "Animate camera" box checked by default. To prevent this:

1. View the Preferences dialog with Edit > Preferences.
2. Select the Camera tab.
3. Un-check Enable automatic camera moves for new frames.

To disable Automatic Zoom on a specific frame:

1. Ensure View > Story Tree/Properties View is turned on, so you can see the Properties palette.
2. Select the frame for which you want to activate Automatic Zoom.
3. Un-check the Animate camera box in the Frame Properties dialog.

To disable Automatic Zoom globally:

1. View the Preferences dialog with Edit > Preferences.
2. Select the Camera tab.
3. Un-check Animate the camera to follow Zoom Frame vectors.
