Preparation

What you need to prepare:

  • A computer (Windows or macOS)

Step 1

Bring Your Clip into Filmora

Open Filmora and import your clip in the editing window. After importing, add your clip to the timeline to add effects.

Step 2

Create Zoom-Out Keyframes

Click on the clip to open its settings. Under the "Basic" tab, find the "X" and "Y" values under the "Scale" section. Set the "X" and "Y" values to 400% at the clip's start. Open the keyframe panel and start making your graphs. You can set an "ease in" preset to see the sticks. Adjust the sticks as desired until you achieve smooth results.

Step 3

Create a Compound Clip

After creating the zoom-out keyframes, press "Alt + G" to create a compound clip of your zoom-out. Name the compound clip as desired, for example, "Compound Clip 1."

Step 4

Add Scale and Rotation Keyframes

Create a keyframe for your scale and rotation in the middle or at the end of the compound clip. You can adjust the rotation angle to 30 degrees. Use the "sharp ease in" graph to make your clip look smoother. Compound your clip again to create a null movement.

Step 6

Add TV Wall Effect

Duplicate the clip and place it under the first one. Add the "TV Wall" effect and adjust the scale to match your clip. You should hide the first clip temporarily. Afterward, go to the "Flip" option and set the bottom clip to flip vertically.

Add BCC Lens Correction Effect

Go to the effects and select "BCC Lens Correction." Add this effect to the timeline and open its settings. Use lens correction to warp your clip. Go to the Keyframe panel and adjust the "Correction" line. You can slide it higher or lower as desired. Set it to 100 and start creating keyframes for your zoom-outs.
