Filmora: Create a zoom-in effect with S_BlurMoCurve

Demo summary
The user adds an adjustment layer and applies the S_BlurMoCurve effect, demonstrating how to use the Z-dist value and keyframe graphs to create a smooth zoom-in.
Step-by-step
- Add an adjustment layer to the timeline
- Go to Effects, select Open FX, then Blur, and apply S_BlurMoCurve to the layer
- Create a keyframe for Z-dist with a value of 1 at the start of the clip
- Change the Z-dist value to a lower number (e.g., 0.7) to create the zoom-in
- Open the key graph and adjust the curve for smooth motion
- Adjust the center point settings to control the focus area of the zoom
- Save the layer as a preset to reuse the effect on other clips
Options
- Use lower Z-dist values for zoom-in
- Use higher Z-dist values for zoom-out
Tips
- Save your finished zoom effect as a preset to quickly apply it to other clips in the future
