Zooms - Yarn Help

Zooms show viewers exactly where to look, like the button you’re about to click.

The Agent can’t add zooms yet, but you can add one in a couple of clicks.

Add a zoom

On the timeline, click the screen recording where the zoom should start.
Click Add Zoom in the top bar, or press ⌘O.

Drag the zoom to move it, or drag its edges to make it longer or shorter. To remove it, select it and press Backspace.

Fine-tune it

Click the zoom to see its controls.

Control	What it does
Zoom Type → Glide	Follows your cursor around the screen.
Zoom Type → Fixed	Stays in one place. Drag on the canvas to frame it.
Zoom	Sets how close it gets.
Instant Start / Instant End	Snaps in or out instead of easing.

Set your defaults

If most of your zooms use the same settings, open the ⋯ menu next to the panel tabs and choose Screen Recording Settings…. Then set Default Zoom Type and Default Zoom Level once. To add zooms to new screen recordings automatically, turn on Auto-Add Screen Zooms in Settings.

A zoom on each key moment is plenty. Too many can make the video feel busy.
