Videos often carry a lot of information in them and an average viewer can only grasp a tiny portion of all the information contained in a video. Video content creators must make sure that the details that are important are emphasized and clearly visible. One of the most effective ways to do this is to apply Pan and Zoom effect to your videos and direct the viewer's attention to the information that is crucial to the story of your video.
If you are creating online tutorials or running a vlog, this effect will be beneficial to you in many ways. In this article, we will show you how to add Pan and Zoom effect in Movavi video editor.
How to Pan and Zoom Videos in Movavi Video Editor
After you launched Movavi in 'Full Feature' mode and imported video files by clicking on the 'Add Media Files' button, you will see that your files are located on the 'Video Track'.
1.Applying the Zoom Effect
The 'More' option is located on the left side of the video editor's screen, click on it and then click on the Pan and Zoom option. From the menu that emerges select the Zoom feature and click on the 'Add' button if you wish to apply the effect. You can select the area of the shot to which the effect will be applied by modifying the orange frame on the preview window.
Once you've added the effect, an arrow that represents keyframes will appear on your video on the timeline. You can adjust the duration of the Pan and Zoom effect by simply dragging the arrow left or right or change the location of the effect by moving the arrow. If you would like to edit a keyframe further, right-click on a keyframe and select the 'Edit Keyframe' option.
