### Shots in Videoporama

The sequences of type Title or Image are defined as suites of static and mobile shots.
The assembly of this allow to build animations.

- A sequence can contain only a single couple of shot ( the 1st couple)
- A sequence can contain up to several hundreds of couple of shot

### Couples of static and mobile shots

Shots work by couples, at first the static shot then the mobile shot (for the 1st couple of shots of the sequence, the mobile shot is always set to 0 seconds).

- The static shot consists of the refocused of the image of the sequence (limit the display of the image by selecting only a part).
- The mobile shot is the animation which allows to pass from the previous static shot to the following static shot. The animation of the mobile shot is automatically calculated by Videoporama according to duration specified for the mobile shot.

Animation sample :
Let us take a sequence of type photo with the photo of the park above. For this sequence, let us define three couples of shots.

Couple | Static and mobile shots definitions | Result annimation
1st | Mobile shot: no mobile shot because it's the 1st couple. Static shot: the image is not refocused: we select the whole image. The duration of the static shot is fixed to 3 seconds. | There is of no annimation but display of a static shot of 3 seconds showing the whole photo.
2nd | Mobile shot of a duration of 4 seconds. Static shot refocussed on the statue and of a duration of 3 seconds. | There is at first an animation of zoom during which the image is gradually enlarged to fix it only to the statue. This animation lasts 4 seconds and is followed by a static shot of 3 seconds showing the statue.
3rd | Mobile shot of a duration of 3 seconds. Static shot refocussed on the walkers and of a duration of 2 seconds. | There is at first an animation of movement during which the image passes gradually from the statue to the walkers. This animation lasts 3 seconds and is followed by a static shot of 2 seconds showing the walkers.
