1
00:00:01,090 --> 00:00:07,480
In this video, we're going to look at how to add, zoom in and zoom out effect on our clips I've got.

2
00:00:08,650 --> 00:00:14,140
A clip of a person playing guitar from Videocon, let's just put that in our timeline, there's no audio

3
00:00:14,140 --> 00:00:15,790
because it's not important for today.

4
00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:22,510
If I press play, it's just a really nice video of a stationary camera that was on a tripod of somebody

5
00:00:22,510 --> 00:00:23,230
playing a guitar.

6
00:00:23,230 --> 00:00:25,450
And you could see the right hand and left hand are doing their thing.

7
00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:26,400
And it's video.

8
00:00:26,410 --> 00:00:31,930
What I want to do is zoom into this person's right hand just to show a close up of how he's playing

9
00:00:31,930 --> 00:00:32,480
the guitar.

10
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:36,940
And of course, that's what we assume ends and zoom out for because we want to show something on the

11
00:00:36,940 --> 00:00:39,100
screen in a little bit more detail.

12
00:00:39,610 --> 00:00:46,360
Let's go to our VFX, making sure that our tracks are nice and big so that we can see them.

13
00:00:46,690 --> 00:00:52,420
And what we're going to do is very quickly just scan the video and I'll say about here, I'm going to

14
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:54,100
press I on my keyboard market in.

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:03,000
And about here, I'm going to mark o an out using the oh my keyboard so that I've got a region where

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,770
I want to apply my TV.

17
00:01:05,070 --> 00:01:12,420
I'm going to click on Plus make sure I've chosen TV from the list, pick up a 2D and throw it inside

18
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:14,160
that little region I just marked.

19
00:01:14,890 --> 00:01:17,880
I'm going to get rid of the ins and outs so that we can see clearly what we're doing.

20
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:23,790
And you can see that I've now got a region inside which I can now zoom in and do whatever I want to.

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,180
So let's do that right now.

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,120
So using my scale and master, I'm going to just drag it up and go to about there.

23
00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:32,040
That's cool.

24
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,570
Now, obviously, I've zoomed into the center of the picture, which is useless.

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,860
So go to my position of X.

26
00:01:38,370 --> 00:01:41,190
I can now move it so that you can just see the hand.

27
00:01:41,490 --> 00:01:46,230
And if you notice, if I go too far, the video will shoot off the side of the screen.

28
00:01:46,590 --> 00:01:49,770
Let's put that back where it is because that looks really bad.

29
00:01:50,370 --> 00:01:53,850
And if we just watch this video now, you can see that's the original video.

30
00:01:55,190 --> 00:02:00,170
And then the zoom comes in so you can watch the detail of the right hand and then it jumps straight

31
00:02:00,170 --> 00:02:02,450
back out to the original video.

32
00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:08,870
Now, although that effect can look really cool in some videos in this case, I think the jumping in

33
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,020
and the jumping out of that zoom is actually quite upsetting to the viewers eyes.

34
00:02:14,030 --> 00:02:15,410
It's really not a nice effect.

35
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,740
So what we need to do is animate this, zooming in and zooming out so it looks kind of smoother.

36
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:24,610
So let's just go back to our TV now for this to actually work.

37
00:02:24,620 --> 00:02:28,790
I'm going to zoom in quite a bit so that we can actually see what we're doing here.

38
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:30,920
Let me just find where I am.

39
00:02:32,740 --> 00:02:33,260
There we go.

40
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:41,050
So we'll go to the start over here and what we want is really the first frame, which is really that

41
00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:41,290
one.

42
00:02:41,290 --> 00:02:45,430
They're not first frame of our DVD where we've zoomed in.

43
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:50,740
I'm not going to go to the master, click on the clock and go to the X and click the clock.

44
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,570
And you can see that right at the bottom here where my key frames are in, I've got a key frame.

45
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,360
What I'm going to do is I'm going to count 15 frames in, so I'm going to go one, two, three, four,

46
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,810
five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

47
00:03:05,170 --> 00:03:08,530
And I'm going to mark another set of key frames here.

48
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:15,180
And you can see that now I've got a key frame on frame one and 15 frames later, I've got another key

49
00:03:15,180 --> 00:03:15,510
frame.

50
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,910
I'm going to go back to my original key frame.

51
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:19,860
That's the first one there.

52
00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:26,550
And I'm going to reset the X to zero point five and I'm going to reset the master to one.

53
00:03:26,850 --> 00:03:31,260
So really, the zoom, when it starts, it starts at the original size.

54
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:38,870
And then it zooms in to the area I want to show, so let me show you that at real speed.

55
00:03:40,290 --> 00:03:46,380
Which is a really cool, smooth zoom effect, so it's going to zoom in now, let's just zoom out using

56
00:03:46,380 --> 00:03:47,460
my magnifying glass.

57
00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:49,410
Let's just watch that again.

58
00:03:49,410 --> 00:03:51,180
You can see that's a really smooth effect.

59
00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:55,260
Now, if you want a slower zoom in, of course, I counted 15 frames.

60
00:03:55,590 --> 00:03:59,160
You can count 24 frames or however many frames you want to.

61
00:03:59,460 --> 00:04:01,740
I think 15 frames works really quite well.

62
00:04:02,310 --> 00:04:06,440
Now, of course, we have to animate the zoom out effect, which is going to be at the end.

63
00:04:06,450 --> 00:04:09,230
So let's go to the end.

64
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,330
So that's our last DVD and I'm going to count 15 frames back in.

65
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:18,590
So that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

66
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:26,400
I'm going to mark some key frames like so I'm going to leave those there because of course, at that

67
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,040
frame, I assume, in effect should be still there.

68
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,640
And I'm going to now forward to the very last frame.

69
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:39,160
Of our DVD, let me just zoom in a little bit, because I know Lightworkers can be funny with the cursor

70
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,750
keys, so that definitely is the last frame because there I am.

71
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:51,100
And what I'm going to do, because I've already got the key frames at the end, I'm going to put the

72
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:55,370
X back to zero point five and the master scale back to one.

73
00:04:55,690 --> 00:05:03,510
So if I now zoom out, what we should have is zoom in effect, watch the detail that you want to show

74
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:05,640
and then at the end, a zoom out effect.

75
00:05:05,770 --> 00:05:11,110
So if we have a look at this video again, I think you'll agree this zooming in with animations and

76
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:16,360
zooming out with animations just adds a really nice effect to your videos and makes everything you do

77
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,770
look a bit more professional.
