Why Auto-Zoom

Zooms with style

Three reasons editors switch to Auto-Zoom.

🎬

9 YouTuber presets

Hormozi punch, Vertical Shorts, Captivate, Cinematic slow, YouTube standard, Transcript-driven, Strong opening, Silence-driven, Subtle breathing. Each preset sets the intensity, shape and easing.

👁

Local face detection

SSD MobileNetV1 ships inside the plugin. No server, no data sent, works offline. The model retries at different offsets if no face is found on the first frame.

🎥

Documentary Cine mode

Two stacked zoom layers with an oscillating drift on 8 to 14 second cycles. Punch zooms on top of the slow movement. The Netflix documentary look, automated.

How it works

3 steps, clean zooms

  1. 01

    Pick a preset and a level

    9 presets (Hormozi, Shorts, Cinematic...) and 3 intensity levels: subtle (102-110%), medium (108-120%), aggressive (115-138%). You can also pick from 7 shape profiles and 5 easing curves.

  2. 02

    The AI finds the strong moments

    5 trigger modes: keywords and AI, sentence boundaries, cut points, AI markers, or transcript selections. The engine works out where each zoom goes.

  3. 03

    Zooms are placed on adjustment layers

    Each zoom is its own adjustment layer with its own scale and position. Your original clips are untouched. You can move, delete or tweak every zoom individually.

Under the hood

Face detection, 100% local

The SSD MobileNetV1 model runs inside the plugin, with no external server. It is CSP (Content Security Policy) compliant and works fully offline. If no face is found on the first frame, the engine automatically retries at several offsets in the clip.

The result: zooms center on the speaker's face, not the middle of the frame. Your data never leaves your machine.

Cine mode

Two layers, oscillating drift

Cine mode stacks two zoom layers. The first applies a slow, oscillating drift on 8 to 14 second cycles, the subtle camera movement of a documentary. The second adds punch zooms on the moments of impact.

Hormozi punch: 115-138% on keywords · Cinematic slow: 12 s drift with a 108% punch · Shorts: aggressive face-centered zooms for vertical

Frequently asked questions

? Do the zooms change my original clips?

No. Each zoom sits on an adjustment layer above your clips. Your footage stays intact. You can delete, move or tweak every adjustment layer independently.

? Does face detection send my footage to a server?

No. The SSD MobileNetV1 model ships inside the plugin and runs 100% locally. No frame leaves your machine. It works even without an internet connection.

? Can I remove all the zooms at once?

Yes. The adjustment layers go on a dedicated track. Select them all and delete, or use Ctrl+Z to undo the operation.

? What is the difference between the 3 intensity levels?

Subtle: 102-110% zoom, barely noticeable but it adds rhythm. Medium: 108-120%, the YouTube standard. Aggressive: 115-138%, Shorts or Hormozi style. Each preset has its own ranges within each level.

? Does it work with multicam clips or nested sequences?

Yes. Auto-Zoom places adjustment layers above your timeline, whatever sits underneath. Multicam, nested sequences, regular clips: it works the same way.
