ZOOM and PAN KEYFRAME Effect – DaVinci Resolve 16 Tutorial

hi I'm going to show you how to use da

Vinci results zoom and pan features so

you can smoothly go from this original

view to this zoomed in and pan view

during the video

welcome to sharing your passion this is

chill and let's get it on okay so let's

start from scratch I just opened up da

Vinci resolve 16 and let's get a video

clip in here right click this area the

media pull import media I already have

the folder here the proper folder let's

select the beach scene and let's drag

that down to our timeline so this is the

scene it's about 20 seconds these bikers

go biking over here and then there's a

lady walking over here and she'll be

falling backwards into the water at the

end so I basically have three segments

to this I'm going to zoom in here to

highlight the bikers and then the camera

the camera action actually zooms into

the lady who's who will be in focus and

then the third step or the third section

of this video clip is when she looks

around and falls back into the water I

want to zoom in and pan into that

specific area to highlight that area so

remember we're using zoom and pan

function in DaVinci Resolve let me just

run this video without any edits so you

can see what it looks like raw without

any edits okay here we go see I want to

highlight these bikers I want to

highlight this section right here and

then now it's going to zoom into the

lady that's the camera zoom it's not

resolved zoom and then I want to zoom

into her make her the focus with

some of the people in the background

okay so let's do that okay we have our

original video clip here okay now so

let's do a shift Z so we can see the

entire timeline shift Z okay this is the

whole timeline it's only about 22

seconds let me copy the video file I'll

go over here and paste it control V

control C to copy ctrl V to paste okay

so now I have two copies of that this is

the original and this is the one we'll

be editing to add our pan and zoom okay

to begin let's add a what-do-you-call-it

keyframe right here keyframe so look at

this tab it says audio we don't need a

audio let's go to the video tab and here

we are these diamonds are the keyframe

indicators so if you want a keyframe for

zoom you click that make that red if you

want a keyframe for position you click

that and make that red let's start with

the beginning frame of this clip so

let's give it a starting point for you

know starting at zoom one which means

it's the original zoom it's the original

resolution there's no zooming in or no

zooming out and position is at zero

that's where we want to start and let's

say maybe

okay so that whole biking scene takes

about C 31 to 22 about 10 seconds so

halfway through I want to zoom into them

like my zoom is completely done so let's

fix that zoom here soon and that's zoom

out I'm just dragging it to the right to

zoom in and with this link activated

that means the X and the y that means

the X and the y are in sync so you only

have to adjust one of these to zoom now

we have to pan this control is the

panning position I'm dragging the mouse

click to the left and it brings the

frame to the left the image to the left

and at some point you're going to run

out of space here see now you see some

black space there we don't want to be

showing any black space so let's just

end it at the edge match it match the

edge now let's control the position Y

the vertical axis so drag it to the

right to bring it down but sometimes it

just jumps to when you're out of the

frame here it jumps to a big number so

we got to bring it back down and just

get rid of that black space then you'll

be at the corner but it's too zoomed in

so let's bring it even lower okay so I

think that's the best position for this

zoom let's just zoom in a little bit

more drag it to the left

okay with the lady no longer in focus

that means we ought to adjust the

panning and the zoom so that she isn't

focused so let's bring the time back to

and the bikers left a scene okay right

around there now let's start some

panning and zooming mostly panning to

where that lady is so let's mark this as

one of the keyframes and let's go about

a few seconds in now I want her to be

over here

so let's adjust the position X that's

too much let's bring it about there well

let's bring it about there okay let's

see how that looks and let's lock in

this zoom and let's go back to the

previous keyframe click the left arrow

here and let's just play that okay so

now she's in focus K and she comes out

of focus because I'm so sumed in it's

easy to fall out of the scene so I just

keep adjusting the D position so over

here let's bring it over to the left

again so I'm just gonna get to the edge

where there's no black area here right

that's the most extreme and she's too

low so let's bring up the y-axis okay

let's see how that looks make sure I

click here maintain the zoom click the

left keyframe again so let's play that

okay so then she takes a dip she's a

little too low so let's adjust that so

she she's a little higher up and click

the left to find a last keyframe okay

and I know she's gonna end up down here

so I want to bring that up a little so

we can see her take that splash okay

I'll just move it I'll just move the

cursor over a little bit more and again

just tiny adjustments of maybe a little

zoom go towards the left

oops can't see any you can't have that

black edge showing up because we're out

of the scene so bring it to the edge and

a little lower and I think we'll be able

to see her now take that backward dip

let's play this

okay so let's replay the whole clip the

whole edited clip zooming to the bikers

there's that lady there we're gonna wait

until she passes the frame and then we

focus pan over to her the camera does

some zooming I'm not changing any zoom

right here she's looking around look

around

okay so let's compare that with our

original you can see how far people are

she's way over there the biker still

kind of you know tiny in comparison to

the whole screen and here's the zoom to

the lady

and she's kind of tiny that's why we

need that to zoom and she does hurt her

thing and here's the edited version it

just adds more dynamic you know focus

and keeps your eyeballs more in tune to

what's going on to this important part

of the scene see she's a lot closer now

than the original and you see her dip

okay I hope you understood that and now

know how to do your own zooming and

panning to help you make your videos pop

more I'll be doing a bunch more videos

like this where I make tutorials for the

latest version of DaVinci Resolve which

is version 16 right now I'll be showing

you other important video editing

techniques such as how to do motion

tracking using green screens and

creating some magic how to draw circles

rectangles to highlight certain areas of

the video how to join two or more clips

and I'll give you a lot of shortcuts on

how to make your editing process a lot

easier and quicker and much more so
