Clips

Add a zoom to a clip

Changed on

Adds a zoom to the footage in the clip's Screen slot at startTimeMs — the screen recording, or b-roll media a layout puts there (the camera is unaffected). Use manualZoom with a focusPoint, or trackingZoom to follow the cursor.

How one thing gives way to the next: smooth eases across the change, hard_cut swaps instantly.

scalenumber required

Magnification factor (1 = no zoom, 3.5 = max). Required — a zoom without a scale cannot be rendered.

Start time in ms on the clip's playback timeline (cuts applied)

type'manualZoom' | 'trackingZoom' required

manualZoom zooms into a fixed focusPoint on the screen. trackingZoom automatically follows the cursor in the screen recording.
