Pro Tips for Pan & Zoom Effects
Tip 1: Create a longer zoom motion
1. Start with a step that shows the full screen view (no zoom).
2. Add another identical step and apply Pan and Zoom to focus on a specific area.
Play both steps in sequence to create a smooth zoom-in effect.
To create a zoom-out motion, simply reverse the order.
Tip 2: Move across multiple areas in the same step
1. Duplicate the step you wish to work with.
2. Place the Pan & Zoom frame on different areas on each identical step.
When played, the guidde will pan smoothly between your two focus points, like a camera movement, ending with a zoomed-out step view.
Tip 3: Create a zoom-in and out motion
Duplicate your step so you have 3 identical steps.
On the first step, apply Pan & Zoom to focus on a specific area.
Add a middle step without Pan & Zoom to return to a full-step view.
On the third step, apply Pan and Zoom again, anywhere you wish to focus.
When playing the video, you'll get a vibrant zoom-in-and-out motion effect.
