Part 2: How to use the Dynamic Zoom tool in DaVinci Resolve 14

DaVinci Resolve 14 offers the powerful tool to pan zoom video. More than zooming, you can also beautify your skin in Resolve. There are two simple methods of applying the Dynamic Zoom effect in DaVinci Resolve:

Method 1: Use the Dynamic Zoom Group

1. Select the video clip first and then open the Inspector

2. Scroll down to find the Dynamic Zoom option and turn it on.

3. Select the effect of your choice.

The following accessory controls in the Inspector help you to further customize your Dynamic Zoom animation, making it fast and easy to do pan and scan effects to zoom in or zoom out of a clip.

Dynamic Zoom Center: It helps you to control the acceleration of the zooming motion. You can customize the Dynamic Zoom transition by choosing from the different built-in options such as the Linear, Ease In, Ease Out, and Ease In and Out.

Swap: To invert the zooming motion, you just have to click the Swap button in the Inspector.

Method 2: Use the Dynamic Zoom button

1. Click the Transform/Crop button at the bottom left of the Timeline Viewer to activate it.

2. Select the Dynamic Zoom mode from the pop-up menu.

Tips: The green box over the clip in the Timeline Viewer indicates the size and the position of the zoom beginning. The red box, on the other hand, shows its ending size and the position. You can adjust the position as well as the sizes of the zoom transitions by simply dragging within or the corners of the boxes. Also, a motion path is shown so that you can determine the zooming motion.
