How do I add a cinematic zoom to my video?

Upload your video, pick a zoom mode (push, pull, Ken Burns, vertigo, whip), set speed and range, add optional letterboxing and grain, export as MP4.

What is the Ken Burns effect?

A slow pan-and-zoom across a still image or video frame, named after documentary filmmaker Ken Burns. Creates a sense of movement in static content. This tool applies it to video too.

Can I create a dolly zoom / vertigo effect?

Yes. The Vertigo mode simulates the Hitchcock dolly-zoom where the subject stays the same size but the background stretches. Works on any footage with a centered subject.

Is cinematic zoom free?

Cinematic Zoom

Cinematic Zoom adds smooth camera zoom effects to any video — slow push, pull back, punch in, Ken Burns pan-and-scan, vertigo dolly-zoom, and whip zoom. Includes letterboxing, vignette, color grading, and film grain for a complete cinematic finish.

Tips

Ken Burns on still photos turns them into dramatic cinematic shots.
Slow push (0.1x speed) adds subtle tension to dialogue scenes.
Vertigo mode works best when the subject is centered in frame.
Add letterboxing + vignette + grain for instant "movie trailer" production value.
