This is a really quick way for zooms. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@team2films]

You're welcome!

[@wavyjuicehq]

I love the way you explained this, love your voice and everything, very easy to listen to, very grateful

[@thepropolys]

Didn’t realize dynamic zoom could be adjusted. This is awesome!

[@team2films]

Glad this was helpful.

[@UbiquitousBooks]

Same. I have been doing it with keyframes because I didn't know that adjustment overlay existed.

[@DFD1]

A subtle dynamic zoom is a great option, particularly for stills or low-movement shots. You have an amazing voice ☺

[@team2films]

Yeah, the subtle stuff makes a big difference.

[@marinrealestatephotography]

Great tutorial. Just wanted to add that using dynamic zoom with adjustment clips is a great way to make a slideshow of still photos, and so much easier than using key frames on individual clips.

[@team2films]

That's a great idea!

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Short, to the point and informative. Thanks from Colorado.

Ok wow. Moving from final cut to premiere years ago, i did miss ken burns effect but quickly got used to keyframes. Now moving from premiere to resolve i still used keyframes but never noticed that dynamic zoom would've sped up my workflow a lot like fcp!!

Thanks. It's actually quite a cheap microphone, it's the stock lav mic that comes with the Tentacle Sync Track E.

[@twomustangs]

I see you're very helpfully answering comments. Hoping you can help. Just updated to 18.6. I don't have Dynamic Zoom as an option in my drop-down under the playback window. I have Source, Offline, Audio Track, Multicam, and Annotations. No Dynamic zoom. Is there something that needs to be done in order to make that available?

[@team2films]

Hello! It sounds like you are looking at the source viewer, rather than the timeline viewer. You'll find the dynamic zoom controls in the viewer on the right hand side. Hope that helps.

[@twomustangs]

This feature makes me consider leaving Premiere Pro...looks so much easier than mucking around with key frames!

[@team2films]

To be fair, Premiere has some great features that Resolve lacks. And Resolve has some great features that Premiere lacks. Depending on your workflow, the balance will tip in a particular direction. That said Resolve is incredible. We're currently working on a full length course to help people transition from Premiere to Resolve. Hoping to release by the end of the year. You might like it! Thanks for watching.

[@MatthewPolack]

Thanks.. I've been using Premiere since about version 6.5 in 2002 or so.. not that keen to leave because I know it so well . and love a lot of it. But this particular zoom feature is one I use a lot.. there were a few of these kind of things that it feels like in Premiere you have to manually massage...so it's certainly food for thought! Thanks!

[@rickdeckardbladerunner2049]

If dynamic zoom could let you control the speed, it would truly be dynamico!!! Those quick zooms are not good for documentaries. I have to keyframe those shots. Is there a better way with dynamic zoom to slow it down to be more slow and cinematic?

[@team2films]

Heya. Yes we’d love to see the ability to control its speed added. The best thing you can do for the time being is change the easing. Otherwise manually key framing is your best bet.

[@pauljacobus1066]

It's kind of important to note that if you have your Playback>Timeline Resolution set to less than 100%, this won't work properly.

[@team2films]

We think the effect still works, there seems to be an issue with the viewer overlay. Will investigate. Thanks for mentioning.

[@lydsfizz]

Thank you for reminding me! I was wondering why it was so small but yup fixing that worked!

Try clicking on the corner control to highlight the windows that you want to manipulate. Then it's easier to move it around because it's already selected.

I have the free version of davinci resovle and can't open the menu with the customized dynamic zoom options (i can only set it from "inspector"), beacuse I can't really see the icon anywhere. is it due to the fact that i have the free version or is something wrong with my program? help :')

[@team2films]

Dynamic zoom is available on the free version of Resolve. Are you talking about the dynamic zoom viewer controls? They can be accessed with the dropdown menu beneath and to the left of the timeline viewer. Hope that helps.

[@eleCV04]

@@team2filmsthanks, I'll try to have a second look but I spent the entire day searching for the icon, maybe I have to do some updates

[@connorsmith5255]

Am I able to keyframe the change of the speed?

[@team2films]

Yes!

[@Spidouz]

I just wish we would have the dynamic zoom parameters in the inspector to be manually and precisely adjusted, like zoom x, y, position x, y… so not just approximation by dragging the lines…

[@team2films]

Yeah, we've got ideas for improvements we'd like to see made to dynamic zoom too. However, it should be noted the tool is meant to be simple and easy to use. If you'd like to do more complex or precise animations, that's what the transform controls are for, and then you'll get the control you need.

[@joeybailey9628]

my dynamic zoom is not set to my frame size when i try to expand it makes things worse any idea how to fix

[@team2films]

The dynamic zoom controls inherit the size of your source media. When working in mis-matched resolutions, like vertical, the controls might look funny, but they still work fine. Was that your problem? Thanks so much for watching.

[@knightbook]

is there a way to slow down the zoom?

[@team2films]

The speed of the zoom is dependant on the length of the shot you apply it to. If you have a short clip and you want a 'slower zoom' then make the zoom less extreme by changing the start or end framing. Thanks for watching.

[@GoluBhai__]

Ok ❤❤❤❤😮😮😮

[@abbinmathew2732]

Lovin it!

[@team2films]

Thanks Abbin

[@puneethme]

How to speed up the zoom effect

[@team2films]

The dynamic zoom effect always lasts the duration of the clip, so therefore it's not designed to have its speed changed.

[@ersinnezamali3772]

keep in mind that dynamic zoom doesnt work correctly if you have a 4k clip and editing and the timeline resolution is set to half or quarter, it must be set to full

[@team2films]

Yeah, that’s a good tip. Proxy resolution should be set to full. To be precise, I think dynamic zoom still works, but I think the viewer controls are messed up. Hopefully this will be fixed.

[@sureshreddy4614]

how layout Preset Save

[@team2films]

Hello! What exactly do you mean?

[@leonpaelinck]

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHEN IT STARTS AND STOPS ZOOMING WHY CANT I DO THAT????

[@team2films]

Dynamic zoom is designed to be simple. If you want to create more complex movement then keyframe the properties in the inspector. Hope that helps.

[@Voltahgandhi]

This dуnamic zoom tool is a pain in the ass. Better use keуframes

[@team2films]

It definitely has advantages and disadvantages. Keyframes are more powerful, but more time consuming. Thanks for watching.

[@meronmountains7052]

It's just not working for me, no mater where i pace the red and green box. During playback, it's taking my whole clip and sliding, plus shrinking it inside the viewer.(Instead of zooming panning in on subject. I've watched your video like 5 times, taking it step by step, but no luck. If i just use dynamic zoom it the Effects tab, it will ease in or out. But as soon as I try to get more control of the actions in the Viewer Drop Down; dynamic zoom with the red and green boxes shrinks my footage clear out of the frame. Is it just me or anyone else having this issue? (Davinci Resolve 18.6)

[@Architallos]

I noticed this problem while using an adjustment clip. It was set for landscape orientation, but when I applied it to a vertical portrait image, it cropped the image, resulting in quite odd behavior. An adjustment clip cannot be made for vertical images, so I'm using it only on landscape images, and the settings for vertical ones must be adjusted manually each time. It's pretty annoying. Also ease in and out is applied only when first set linear, then, ease, then linear, then ease again. Resolve Studio is simply buggy, hence free.

[@team2films]

Hmmm, sorry you are having an issue. Are you using it in combination with position and zoom controls?

[@Architallos]

@@team2filmsI've resolved the issue. It's not an error, but rather a conflict with the Scaling feature. Whenever I insert pictures, I opt to set the scaling to 'fill' rather than sticking with the default value. However, with 'fill' enabled, dynamic zooming only functions correctly with landscape-oriented pictures; portrait-oriented pictures get cropped. Therefore, the workaround is to refrain from using the 'fill' setting, which ensures everything functions as intended. By the way, your channel is fantastic.

[@meronmountains7052]
