Use 3D motion on a zoom

Updated 4 September 2026 · Windows desktop app

Add perspective while keeping the recorded content readable.

These guides cover the development build shown on this site. Some controls may differ in the published installer. Check your version in Settings and the download notes.

Start with a normal zoom

Add a zoom block, set its timing and focus, and play it back. Get the flat zoom working before adding perspective.

Enable the effect

Select the block and turn on Make this zoom 3D in the Zoom panel. Adjust the available motion settings while checking the preview. Controls depend on your installed build.

Keep the subject visible

Perspective can push text toward an edge. Reduce the effect or zoom level if content becomes difficult to read. Check both the entrance and exit of the movement.

If it stalls

Turn 3D off and try a short export of the same section. Save the project and include that comparison in a support report. If the problem only occurs with 3D enabled, leave it off while completing the rest of your edit.
