Plizy Tutorial 01 - Landscape vs. Portrait

Welcome to the first in a series of Plizy Tutorials! The first topic we will be demonstrating is the difference experience between Landscape mode and Portrait Mode.

Picking any featured or created channel, we can take a look at the 'channel experience' and what each mode offers us. In Landscape mode, we have the advantage of having a 'full screen' feeling, with very minimal obstruction by buttons or the timeline; however, we can still easily skip to the next video, or scroll through older or newer videos. Additionally, with a few quick taps, we like the video, choose our social networks to share this with, and post it with another tap, all while our video plays.

 

Switiching to Portrait Mode, we split the iPad screen, with the top half showing our video, but with the bottom half being used for navigation. The button on the top right allows us to look at comments on the video from Plizy users, and lets us comment as well as to write our own custom posts on Facebook and Twitter. Clicking on the Timeline button on the top left, we can easily see the next upcoming series of videos with their full descriptions as well as change videos by clicking on the screenshot.

 

Stay tuned for next week, when we continue our Tutorial series, discussing The Mosaic.
