How to Add Camera Effects

With the Camera, you can now simulate a panning and zoom effect with your videos.

Adding the Camera Zoom

Go to Effects & Components > click on the Components tab

Drag the the Camera to the canvas


Place the time indicator  and double-click on the camera track to add the camera bar


Place the time indicator at the end of the camera bar and resize the camera to zoom


To change how the camera animation progresses, right-click on the camera clip and choose Easing

Make the zoom effect fast or slow by cropping the camera.


DEMO:



Panning the Camera
      After adding a camera zoom simply place the time indicator at the end of the camera clip
      And pan the camera by dragging the screen

     DEMO:


Rotating the Camera
      To rotate the camera, place your cursor just outside the corner selection and turn it up or down to tilt the camera.

    My problem is when I zoom in on an object it does not allow me to size the area of the zoom effect in a freeform manner so I can obtain the specific area I want to zoom in on. How do I request  this as a future feature?

    I have problems with panning and zooming, as when I  use the camera effect on one scene, the other scenes start changing. even though I don't want the panning or zooming on the second scene

    Hi guys, make sure to check how the image/video is framed BEFORE and AFTER the camera bar.

    The same thing is happening to me, no matter what I do the camera starts when you play the video if you try to change it, it just goes to full view again!

    I'm having the same issue as Cindy is.

    I keep following the steps but no matter what I do, my "zoom" happens the moment my video begins playing, even though the camera bar is a couple of seconds away. I must be missing something. :-).
