"iStopMotion is a registered trademark of Boinx software, and I am in no way affiliated with Boinx software. In this clip, I'm going to be teaching you about zooming and about the grid function in iStopMotion as well. If you want to make sure that view is selected at the bottom right here, you can come up to zoom. By default, you're going to have fit and preview selected. That's going to make your preview just fill up the entire window. We've been working like this so far, but you can also select fixed size. Then you can come in and either manually input zoom here. I'm going to put in 100%, or you can click the plus and minus buttons to zoom in to check out some details of your preview. You can also zoom out as well. I'm going to change it back to fit and preview. In most cases, this is going to do just fine, but sometimes you might want to zoom in and out. Also, if you click the grid arrow there, you can click the enabled check box. That's going to give you a grid. You can change the size of the columns and rows by changing this slider, these 2 sliders here. You can also come in and manually input them as well. That's how you add a grid to your preview and how you can zoom in and out as well."
