Zoom-to-Click

How it works

During recording, ShipClip tracks your cursor position and clicks. In the editor, each click becomes a zoom point. The camera smoothly zooms in before the click, holds briefly, then zooms back out.

The default timing is a 1-second fade in, 0.8-second hold at full zoom, and a 1-second fade out. This creates a natural "focus-then-release" rhythm.

Click indicator styles

A visual indicator appears at each click location. Five styles are available:

• Ring: A hollow circle outline
• Filled: A solid filled circle
• Crosshair: A crosshair reticle
• Ripple: An expanding wave effect
• Spotlight: A radial glow around the click

Indicator size is adjustable. The indicator fades in and out over 0.3 seconds centered on the click.

Adjusting zoom

• Zoom intensity: How far the camera zooms in (default 1.5×). Higher values create more dramatic zooms.
• Per-range overrides: Select individual zoom ranges in the timeline and adjust their intensity, fade durations, and easing curves independently.
• Easing curves: Control how the zoom accelerates and decelerates. 24 presets available, or draw your own bezier curve (see Easing Curves).

Click sounds

Optionally add an audible click sound effect at each zoom point. Volume is adjustable, and multiple sound packs are available.

Disabling zoom

You can toggle zoom and click indicators on or off independently. Turn off zoom but keep indicators to just highlight clicks without changing the framing. Or turn off both for a clean, static recording.

Tips

• Zoom-to-click requires the Accessibility permission for cursor tracking. Without it, cursor data isn't recorded and zoom effects can't be generated.
• The cursor also pulses slightly on click (shrinks to 80% then bounces back) for a tactile feel.
