    Configuring Zoom Settings

    Zoom Configuration

    Auto Zoom settings are available both globally (in Settings → Recorder) and per-project (in the Project Editor).

    Global Defaults

    In Settings → Recorder, you can set the default zoom multiplier (1.0×–10.0×, default 2.0×) and minimum interval between auto-zoom events. These defaults apply to all new projects.

    Per-Project Settings

    In the Project Editor, each project has its own Auto Zoom configuration. Changes only affect the current project.

    Manual Zoom Overrides

    You can add manual zoom keyframes directly in the timeline:

    1. Position the playhead where you want the zoom
    2. Use the zoom controls in the toolbar to add a zoom effect
    3. Click on the preview to pick the zoom center point
    4. Adjust the zoom scale and timing on the effect track

    Manual zoom clips sit on the same effect track as auto-generated ones. You can mix both freely.

    ✅

    Manual zooms are useful for highlighting specific UI elements that Auto Zoom might not prioritize — like a small button or a status indicator.

    Circling Support

    Auto Zoom can optionally detect circular cursor patterns. Enable this for recordings where you circle items on screen to draw attention.
