In this article/video today i’ll show you the correct and easy way how to create the continuous ZOOM Effect in DaVinci Resolve for iPad that is used in Hollywood a lot. With this effect you give the illusion that the zoom continuous at the same speed and position even if the clips on the screen change. And fun fact, whit the correct method you can use as many clips as you want, it’s still the same simple steps.

Pro Tip: Make your Videos Cinematic (and save a tone of time) with our Seamless Transition Pack for DaVinci Resolve iPad.

Don’t do this! This is wrong…

If you have multiple clips and you would start creating a Zoom animation over all the clips, traditionally you would create keyframes for each individual clip.
If you have multiple clips and you would start creating a Zoom animation over all the clips, traditionally you would create keyframes for each individual clip.

Attention: There are a multitude of Problems with this approach, let me explain:

1. You have to be very precise with the values you use, are the values off the whole zoom effect will actually look cheap and shit.
2. For each clip you want to use you have to create 2 additional keyframes… That means, if you want to create this effect with a fast paste of clips… let say 100 clips… it will take you forever to create this effect…
3. What if you are not happy with the result? You want to change the speed?… Now you have to go back and change ALL KEYFRAMES AGAIN… = LOSER.

No, what if i tell you, that you can make this effect with just 2x keyframes and done! Let me show you how:

Step 1: The correct and easy way to create the continuous ZOOM Effect in DVR for iPad

First select all your clips and open the inspector.

Btw. Everything i show in this Video and in the article today works in the CUT PAGE and also in the EDIT PAGE. I personally just prefer working in the EDIT PAGE because you can do more stuff. But you can follow along with the CUT PAGE aswell.

Tip: If you don’t know how to get the other pages (FUSION, FAIRLIGHT, EDIT) on the iPad read this article first: How to UNLOCK ALL PAGES in DaVinci Resolve for iPad Pro

Step 2: Change the start Position Zoom value for all the clips.

And while all the clips are selected change the Zoom value to the start position you like.
And while all the clips are selected change the Zoom value to the start position you like.

This step is important, that you make sure that all the clips you are using have the same Aspect Ratio and size on the screen. Obviously if you use completely random images, and videos that all vary in size, the effect will not work as you want. My recommendation: Use Clips with the same Resolution.

Step 3: Add a Adjustment Clip from the Effects Tab

From the Effects Tab add the Adjustment Clip on Top of all your clips.

Step 4: Change the Adjustment Clip duration

Extend the Adjustment Clip so it starts and ends where the clips you wanna use end.

Step 5: Add the First Keyframe (Start Position)

First Keyframe Position: Select the Adjustment Clip and bring the Playhead to the beginning of your clips. And in the Inspector add the first Zoom Keyframe, by clicking the dot on the left side to the zoom value.

Step 6: Add the Second Keyframe (End Position + Zoom Value)

Second Keyframe: Bring your playhead to the end position and change the Zoom value for the Adjustment clip to the value you want.
Second Keyframe: Bring your playhead to the end position and change the Zoom value for the Adjustment clip to the value you want.

Good To Know: You can add and change the clips under the Adjustment Clip without ever changing the Zoom Effect. It will always be applied to all the clips underneath.
