Motion Book
Motion Books are books in which otherwise still pictures appear to have motion. Normally, they are Talking Books to which you add motion.
The motion is a pan and zoom from rectangle 1 to rectangle 2. You see these rectangles when you use the Motion Tool. You can add this motion to only the first picture on each inside page.
If you select (
) Motion
Book when you send
a book to the Bloom Reader App, then
it has two modes on your device:
Portrait - When you look at your book in a portrait view, you do not see motion.
Landscape - When you turn the device sideways for a landscape view,
pictures fill the screen and you see the motion.
For each page, Bloom attempts to match the duration of the motion with the duration of the recorded audio. If you have not yet recorded a page, or it is very brief, the motion runs for about 4 seconds.
A one-second pause at the end of each page simulates what readers will experience when going to the next page.
Note
You cannot see the motion in ePUB or PDF publications.
Motion is included in books when you make a Bloom Pack.
