- What does Auto Zoom actually do?
- It adds dynamic punch-in zoom cuts to your video on a rhythm — alternating between a wide shot and a zoomed-in shot. That subtle motion is what makes edited talking-head videos and podcasts feel energetic instead of static, and normally you'd add it by hand cut-by-cut.
- Will it crop out my subject?
- The zoom punches toward the center of the frame, so a centered talking-head stays in shot. If your subject sits far to one edge, use a subtler intensity or re-frame first with the crop tool.
- Can I make a vertical version for Shorts and TikTok?
- Yes — pick Vertical 9:16 as the output format and the tool renders a vertical video with the zoom motion, ready to post to Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts.
- How do I get a fully 'edited' look?
- Run your raw recording through the filler-word remover first (it cuts ums and dead air into clean jump cuts), then through Auto Zoom for the punch-ins. Add captions with the animated captions tool and you have the full edited-podcast style.
- Is it free and private?
- Yes — the zoom renders in your browser via FFmpeg, so your video never uploads to a server (large files fall back to server processing). No watermark, no sign-up.
