Web Tutorial - Expanding portion of screen
[Post New]
I am attempting to create tutorial videos such as those used on Youtube. Can someone recommend a technique for created an expanded portion of a screen, in either a video or expanded static screen such as illustrated in the attached file? I am using PD 14 on Windows 10. Thanks.

Hi Jim

You can use crop/zoom function to zoom on a part of the screen

If you would like to see the zoomed portion on the top of the original video. You can add this zoomed portion as a second track and use the mask function.

Hi Jim -

Theolilou's idea is a good one, especially if you want to highlight the fact that you're focussing on a particular element. It has the advantage of including the zoom in/out.

Another possibility is to use the Magnifier effect in the FX room. A short example is attached. There's no zoom in or out - it just magnifies according to the parameters you set.

Cheers - Tony
