 Hello everyone, welcome back to another Premiere Pro tutorial. In this one, I'm going to show you how to create your own smooth zoom animation. So common for people that are, you know, either on webcam or you'll see people like MKBHD use this. It's just to show that, you know, a little bit of, hey, what the heck are you talking about kind of thing? So here we go. I'm going to show you how to create it. And then I'm going to show you how to make it into a preset so you can reuse it a million times. You don't have to keep recreating the wheel. And if that doesn't work for you, I'll even put a link in the description so that you can download my version. So let's go, let's just start off with it right here. So here's the same shot. And if I hit play, no zoom. So what we need to do first off is I'm just going to select the track here. And when I do that, I'm going to go into my effect controls panel. Now this is a scale zoom, but it is a gradual zoom. So let me show you how to do it. So here we go. The first step here is make sure your play is at the beginning. Click on the stopwatch besides scale. Now let's go forward. This is in 30 frames per second. So this will be about a half a second zoom. But again, you can go longer or shorter, whatever works for you. But I'm going to do it at a half a second zoom. So at 15 frames or half a second, depending on how you've got it set up, I'm going to zoom this to 120. So let's see what we got now. Now this is not correct yet, but we're on our way. So let's see what we got. You'll see here, it's just a gradual linear zoom. Now maybe that's what you're going for. And if that's the case, you can click off now and give me a thumbs up. That would be great. Thank you. But if you want to do a little more, let me show you here. So the next step is I'm going to go into the effect controls panel, but look at this. Under scale, you want to click on this little triangle, or I believe that's called a chevron. And on that chevron, you're going to see here that there's some keyframes. Now I'm going to go ahead and right click on the first keyframe right here. So I'm going to right click on it. And then you want to make sure that this is set to ease out. It's very important that it's set to ease out and not ease in. The reason why is because it starts from no movement and it's easing itself out of the gate. So think about it like that way. It's coming out of the parking spot. So you're easing that one out. Now this keyframe here is accepting. So you're accepting it in. So I'm going to right click on this one here. And then I'm going to set that to ease in. Now look at the shot here and watch. It's going to be a little bit more gradual. There you go. So that might be what you're looking for. And it is pretty good so far. If you want to go a little further, again making sure that this little triangle is taken down, you can actually pull on these handles a little bit. So I'm going to pull this one out a little bit and I'm going to pull this one out a little bit. So that means it kind of starts off slower and ends slower and it accelerates a little bit more in the middle. This is just me nitpicking here. But again, you can see the difference here. So I'll hit space bar, zoom. That is a perfect smooth zoom. Now we've gone that far. Let's go one step further. Let's see here. At the top here under motion, you'll see here I've clicked on motion, right click on motion and now you can save this as a preset. And I'm going to call this smooth zoom. And I am going to set this to scale. So actually part of me, I'm going to anchor this to the end point. I made a mistake there. It's anchor to end point. So I'm going to anchor it to right at the start. So let's go ahead and click on OK. And now watch this. If I grab another piece of footage, or let's say I go ahead and let's just delete all of these here. Let's start from scratch. We've got this here. Okay. You'll see here the zoom is not applied, but we save that preset. Go to effects under presets. Look at this right here. Smooth zoom. You see I've got another one there. I've got a wipe setup. Smooth zoom. Drag and drop that right on at the beginning. Watch this. It's done. Now I can use this a million times and go nuts. So there you go. All there is to it. Any questions, let me know. If you want to download it and I've already done it for you, I'll put a link in the description below. Thanks for watching.
