Note:


To help Smart Zoom predict where to apply zoom and pan animations, please follow these tips during the recording process:

Limit clicking. Do not randomly click the screen or move around the screen unnecessarily with the mouse.

Do not randomly move the cursor. Do not randomly move the cursor or point to unnecessary areas on the screen. Try to keep the cursor in the focus area being recorded as much as possible.

Keep the cursor near when entering text. If you click a text box, move the cursor to the other side of the screen, and then start talking, Smart Zoom may not be able to predict the correct operation. If you want the audience to see the content being typed in the text box, keep the cursor inside or near the text box.

Use the mouse wheel (if applicable). Try using the mouse wheel instead of clicking or dragging the scroll bar. Smart Zoom may zoom in on the scroll bar instead of scrolling the content.

Apply zoom animations to the timeline materials in the editor.
