Edit & export / Auto zoom & cursor

Zooms that follow your clicks.

Shotbox records where the pointer went, then zooms in on each moment you clicked and eases back out. The cursor glides instead of jittering.

Clicks become moments

Clicks within about two seconds of each other become one held zoom, centred on all of them.

The frame stays still

The zoom pushes in on the content while the frame, its corners and its shadow stay put.

Smooth, never late

The cursor is smoothed forwards and backwards, so the jitter goes but the cursor never lags behind where it was. Clicks get a ripple.

Adjust it, or do it by hand

Change the zoom level, or add and remove zooms at the playhead. Frame each clip differently and Shotbox eases between them across the cut.

  • Cursor size stays constant as the zoom changes
  • Zooms move with their content when you trim
