Editing a camera path

The editor: live view with control overlay, "Capture point" and the list of waypoints.

Open the editor by tapping an already selected tile again.

The editor consists of three parts:

  • the live view with its control overlay at the top,
  • below it the "Capture point" button,
  • below that the list of waypoints.

At the very bottom: Preview (runs the route without recording, for checking).

The Pathset editor on Android: live view with overlaid controls (tilt on the left, roll arc at the top, pan at the bottom, zoom on the right, crosshair in the centre), below it "Capture point" and the waypoint list; point 2 carries the roll angle ∠10.0°.
The editor: controls right on the live view, below it "Capture point" and the waypoint list.

Framing the picture (via live view)

You frame the desired view directly in the live image:

  • Pan: the horizontal joystick at the bottom turns the camera left/right.
  • Roll: the arc at the top tilts the horizon: drag right for clockwise, left for counter-clockwise.
  • Tilt: the vertical joystick on the left tilts up/down.
  • Zoom: the +/− buttons on the right (press and hold) zoom in/out. The current factor is shown below (e.g. "2.0×").
  • Centre: tapping the crosshair in the middle of the image points the camera forward/level.

The current pan, tilt, roll and zoom values are displayed next to the joysticks.

Adding a waypoint

When the view is right, tap "Capture point". The current pan, tilt, roll and zoom level are added to the list as a new waypoint. This is how you string together the route, point by point.

Fine-tuning a waypoint (numerically)

Tap a waypoint in the list, and the edit card with numeric fields opens. Every value can be entered or adjusted precisely here:

  • Pan (degrees) · Tilt (degrees) · Roll (degrees)
  • Zoom (factor) · Travel time (seconds)
  • Hold time (seconds)
  • Switches for Record (record from here on) and Optically even zoom
  • Duplicate, Delete, and ↑/↓ for re-ordering.
