How To Zoom in OpenShot | Keyframe, Animation & Ease in/out Tutorial

Zooming and scaling in OpenShot, both static/permanent and animated with keyframes.
Subscribe for regular updates! bit.ly/TuxDsub
In this tutorial we use the properties of clips to manipulate the Scale X and Scale Y parameters of a clip to get the size we want. Then, Position X and Position Y let us change the area we zoom in to. Later, we use the context menu automated animations and finally build our own animation using keyframes. OpenShot has some amazing features!
OpenShot is available for free for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux from www.openshot.or...

Best compliment, thanks!

[@toastyagma3865]

@Adam Kody I do and thx I need this! im gonna hack em all LOL look what you have done..... ✅

[@roudintricksup2117]

Rather than Trying to extend that 10 MINUTE mark

[@Rx_Sqx]

Tip: if you want to zoom in in an specific frame, split it and press on the one you did.

[@omarnassar5251]

thank you thats what i wanted

[@nataliemreow]

Thanks!

[@niccolom]

That's just a workaround.
It's kind of stupid that the program does not allow zooming in and out within one clip, but rather it can only do "start of clip", "end of clip", or "entire clip".
I don't want to split the clip into multiple chunks, as I worry that there may be transition problems.

[@Rx_Sqx]

@@niccolom Yeah I realize,d it now. I wish it was like other apps. Only the zooming part

[@Rx_Sqx]

@@niccolom And just split some part and put it together to the clip, nothing will happen

Thanks! was looking to zoom into a video, your tutorial was the on;y one that didnt have an obnoxious intro, and wasnt 20 minutes long. Keep up the good work!

[@deon000]

Liking and commenting because you got to the point so quickly. I know youtubers such as yourself have to self promote and i understand that completely but its soooo annoying to have like a 3 minute self promoting section in a tutorial. You did it very quickly and got to the point and i appreciate that. Helpful information as well!

[@svengalil]

Just found your channel. This is a fantastic tutorial, clear, concise, to the point and no waffle...thank you. Keep it up.

[@tuxdesigner3856]

Thank you, I am always so happy to hear when people think the tutorials have the right speed!

[@GrumpyOldManRC]

I've just started using OpenShot, maybe 2 months or so and I've mostly felt my way into things not really understanding what the good stuff did so this video helped me immensely. I have subbed and hopefully you will continue to teach me the use of this editor and other things as well. Thanks for doing your videos and I look forward to watching more.👌👌

[@CoolerCookie]

I absolutely could not figure this out, thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed and it was straight to the point. Keep up the great work!

[@rohanroy7213]

Amazing video it's help me a lot thanks buddy 😘

[@Kirbyception]

OHHHHHH! Thank you omg I've been clicking around trying to find it..

[@tuxdesigner3856]

Glad to hear back and do hear that it was useful!

[@Kirbyception]

Aye but like how do you get the zoom to zoom in on a specific spot for a second?

[@tuxdesigner3856]

Ok, so let's assume you want to zoom from 00:05.01 until 00:06.01:
Go to 00:04.30 - set zoom to 1 (so a keyframe is created)
Go to 00:05.01 - set zoom to 2
Go to 00:05.30 - set zoom to 2
Go to 00:06.01 - set zoom to 1
Is this clear? :)

[@Kirbyception]

I mean like not a slow zoom like in the video, like one where it glances at a word or object for a couple seconds. Unless that's what you're saying right now and I'm just retarded xD

[@tuxdesigner3856]

Yes, that is what I mean. By having the distance of one frame between two different scale settings, the zoom is instant. Unfortunately there seems to be no split clip function in OpenShot right now, else I'd suggest that.

[@ShadesApeDJansu]

【Light Head Finns】Thanks a bunch :) I really like Openshot so every tutorial is precious :) "My precious!" - Gollum from Tolkien's Middle Earth Lord Of The Rings & The Hobbit This actually might come in handy at somepoint, making it a gameplay video tutorial was a wise choice since this is just the genre where i think this kind of effect will shine :)

[@UTubeTrollPoliceRussia]

Thanks this is what i will edit with

[@fruitratz]

super helpful. thanks a lot!

[@MBLexi]

Thank you for this useful information

[@Jameselcome_303]

nice video - how do you do ramping video - so speed up and slow down in one video clip - vary the speed...

[@Konfektionery]

What about an instant/no-transition zoom for when you want to "jump" to a specific corner or section of the video?

[@mangochipps0795]

Great tutorial, though I'm struggling a little trying to figure out how to fix black bars on top and bottom in one place while the video pans as the bar effect doesn't seem to provide a placement property.

[@emmaknopa]

This helped me a lot! For some reason though when i center on a part of a clip, it adds a zoom effect towards that spot. How do I stop that?

[@ExtremeWays4Bourne]

Brilliant! However, is it possible to begin the zoom at a certain point in the video and then hold for 1 minute and again zoom out at another point? I am creating educational content and this would really help me a lot.

Dear sir ! While double click scale and after changing the size in - (minus level ), the key frame is not off. I want my picture should be in one corner, but not animated
