Cinematic Zooms + Real Camera Shake — Fully automated and marker-based, no keyframes needed.
Overview
Pro Camera Zoom for After Effects brings natural, professional camera movement to your scenes in seconds. Use Zoom In → Hold → Zoom Out or Zoom Out → Hold → Zoom In animations driven entirely by timeline markers — no manual keyframes required. Add handheld camera shake for realistic motion, and optionally enhance depth with integrated motion blur. Designed for cinematic results and flexible composition control.
Features
- Two animation modes: Zoom In → Hold → Zoom Out & Zoom Out → Hold → Zoom In
- Marker-based automation: precise zoom timing using 4 timeline markers
- Handheld camera option: realistic shake with controllable frequency, amplitude & randomness
- Built-in motion blur: cinematic streaking during fast zooms
- Slider-driven controls: adjust Base Scale, Zoom Amount, Smoothness, and Timing
- Target Position: dynamically shift focus to any point on screen during zooms
- Adaptive scaling: works in any composition size or aspect ratio (4K, 1080p, vertical, square)
- Zero keyframes workflow: drop the preset, set your markers — done
- Compatibility: After Effects 2023 and newer (works with all languages)
How It Works
- Add your media into the Media Holder.
- Set 4 timeline markers to define Zoom In Start, Zoom In End, Zoom Out Start, and Zoom Out End.
- Adjust Zoom Amount, Smoothness, and Base Scale from the Effect Controls panel.
- Enable Handheld Mode for natural shake, and tweak Frequency or Amplitude to taste.
- Optionally use Target Position to shift focus or simulate camera reframe.
