+ | ====== FotoMagico Terminology ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to understand the following chapters in this manual you may want to familiarize yourself with the terminology used by FotoMagico: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Slideshow** - Your entire project, which is made up of images, movies, titles, transitions and audio. Your end product. | ||
+ | * **Slide** - A container that holds visual items (images, movies or titles). | ||
+ | * **Visual item** - A visual item can be an image, a movie, or a title item. | ||
+ | * **Image item** - A single still-image you add to a slide. | ||
+ | * **Title item** - A text element you add to a slide. | ||
+ | * **Movie item** - A Quicktime movie you add to a slide. | ||
+ | * **Audio item** - A song or other audio file that is added to the slideshow. | ||
+ | * **Thumbnail** - A reduced-size of an image, movie, or title to help recognize the visual item in the Storyboard. | ||
+ | * **Transition** - The effect applied between two consecutive slides. There are many types of transition effects. The most common ones are Dissolve, Fade, and Cut. | ||
+ | * **Transition Interval** - The Timeline depicts the transition interval as a stairstep shape. Drag the lower-left edge to change the slide duration of the previous slide. Drag the upper-right edge to change the transition duration itself. | ||
+ | * **Audio track** - An entire track of audio, which includes music, audio effects, or narration. | ||
+ | * **Playhead** - The thin vertical line with the blue triangle at the top that you drag horizontally in the Storyboard or Timeline to move to a location. | ||
+ | * **Duration** - The total time of a slide or how long the animation of the slide takes. | ||
+ | * **Geometry** - The parameters (position, zoom and rotation) of a visual item that determine where it shows up on the Stage. The geometry applies to both the start and finish of a visual item. | ||
+ | * **Animation** - Moving from the start geometry to the finish geometry of a visual item creates an animation. In the Stage, the start of the animation displays on the left side, and the finish of the animation displays on the right side. | ||
+ | * **Jog wheel** - The wheels that display when a slide is selected to adjust the Zoom and Rotation of the selected visual item. | ||
+ | * **Timescale slider** - (Timeline view only) Allows you to drag the slider to increase and decrease the horizontal scale of the Timeline. | ||
+ | * **Audio marker** - Thin red lines that display in the audio waveform (of the Timeline) or in the toolbar (of the Storyboard) that are manually added to indicate a location in the audio. An audio marker can be enabled or disabled. Right-click or double click on the marker to display audio marker information. | ||
+ | * **Fade-in** - A gradual increase in volume at the beginning of an audio item. | ||
+ | * **Fade-out** - A gradual decrease in volume at the end of an audio item. | ||
+ | * **Volume envelope** - Defines the volume of an audio item over time. Let's you decrease or increase the volume of a song at any point in the Timeline. | ||
