If you want to smooth out the ending of the zoom, you can always add the Ease in or Ease Out tool to give the ending of the clip a little bit more slide. I usually scale up just a little bit and adjust my position to zoom into the main subject of the image. Make sure that you create the position to where you want the final shot to be, as Premiere will automatically interpret the motion into a zoom between the two keyframes. So, all we have to do now is navigate to the LAST frame of the clip and adjust our scale and position parameters.Īs soon as you adjust the parameter, a new keyframe is automatically added at the current time. You just added your first keyframe for the scale and position of the clip.Īfter you click and enable the stopwatch for a parameter, Premiere will automatically add keyframes when a parameter is adjusted. In our effects controls window, click the stopwatch icon next to the SCALE and POSITION parameters. This will be where our FIRST keyframe is placed. Next, with the clip selected, we’ll navigate to the very FIRST frame of the clip. Step 2: Adding Keyframes to Scale and Position To create a zoom effect in Premiere Pro, we’ll be using keyframes for the zoom and position parameters.įirst, let’s start by adding our image or footage to the Premiere Pro timeline. Today, we are going to do a little guided tour around creating the zoom effect in Premiere, and then I’ll show you how to incorporate that zoom into a transition. I’m constantly using the zoom to either crop into a clip, or to add a little motion to an otherwise stationary clip. The zoom effect could be argued as one of the most used effects within Premiere. Throw a little “Ken Burns” flavor into your video with the help of the zoom. Using zoom makes static subjects come to life, and helps smooth transitions.
