Adding zooms (auto cursor follow & manual positions)

Once you take a recording or import media, you will see the scene timeline populate with two blocks:

• The purple block is your media
• The orange block is a zoom

You can add as many zoom blocks as you want, or remove them altogether.

Deleting zooms

Click an orange zoom block and the press the delete key.

Auto and manual zoom toggle

If you recorded with Kite, when you select a zoom block, you'll see the option to toggle between Auto or Manual mode.

(If you did not record with Kite, only manual mode is available. Kite needs to be able to capture your mouse moves during the recording to make auto zooms work)

Auto (cursor follow) zooms

Auto mode will automatically follow your cursor, while you control the zoom level.

To adjust a zoom in auto mode, click the zoom block, and then scroll in the viewer window to adjust the zoom level.

ou can also jump to a preset zoom level using these buttons:

Manual zooms

• Manual zooms will let you control both the position and the zoom level.
• Just like with auto zooms, you can scroll in the viewer window, but you can also drag the screen around to position it to your liking. In order to change the position you'll need to zoom in far enough that the entire screen no longer fits in the frame (at low zoom levels, the screen will be automatically be centered).
