  1. Click on the image or video asset in the timeline that you’d like to adjust.

  2. On the right-hand side of the editor, locate the Effect settings panel.

  3. Add a Zoom-in Effect:

    • Select Zoom in under Effect.

    • Adjust the Zoom speed to make the zoom slower or faster.

    • Set the Zoom position (X and Y) to control which part of the media the zoom focuses on (for example, the center, a corner, or an object of interest).

    Examples:

    • A slower zoom keeps the motion subtle and smooth.

    • A faster zoom creates a bold, dramatic focus.

    • Changing the position can highlight a specific area (like a face, product, or detail).

  4. Preview Your Changes

    • The effect updates in real time, so you can instantly see how the zoom speed and position impact your design.


Tips

  • Use slower zooms for background footage and faster zooms for attention-grabbing moments.

  • Combine the zoom effect with text overlays or captions to emphasize a key message.

  • Experiment with different positions to create dynamic storytelling, like zooming toward a product feature or speaker’s face.
