Demo summary

A walkthrough of creating a 'zoom through the eye' transition by using a circle mask, inverting it, and animating the scale with keyframes in Filmora.

Step-by-step

Go to the last frame of the push-in shot and click the screenshot icon
Place the resulting PNG file at the end of the push-in shot
Add a circle mask to the PNG and select the invert option
Adjust the mask corners to the size of the pupil and increase the blur
Go to Basic settings and drag the anchor point to the center of the eye
Set a scale keyframe at the point where you want the transition to start
Scroll to the end of the clip and increase the scale until the mask covers the frame
Place the next shot on the track underneath the masked clip

Tips

Increase the blur on the mask to blend the transition better
