The one-click way: Smart Edit
- Open the recording in the editor.
Click the Zoomr icon and press Editor, then select the clip on the storyboard.
- Choose a strength.
In the Edit tab, pick Subtle, Balanced or Punchy.
- Press ✨ Apply Smart Edit.
Zoomr zooms in on clusters of clicks and typing, cuts long pauses and speeds up waiting, but never cuts while you're talking.
- Check the timeline.
Each smart zoom appears on the Zoom row. Drag it to move it, or drag its edges to change when it starts and ends.
The manual way: zoom zones
- Move the playhead
to where the zoom should start.
- Press + Add Zoom
in the Edit tab. A zoom that follows your cursor is added.
- Set the depth
with the slider (higher = closer).
- Adjust timing
by dragging the block on the Zoom row.
For screenshots
Screenshots work too: drag a box on the preview over the area you want to magnify. Zoomr animates into it when you export, turning a still into a short video.
Why the zoom follows the cursor
Zoomr records where your cursor and text caret were during the recording. A zoom zone uses that path, smoothed out, so the zoom glides with your actions instead of jumping. That's also why zooms work best on recordings made with Zoomr: imported videos don't have that information.
