Smooth zoom transitions look great, but most people assume you need a third-party plugin or a preset pack to pull them off. The good news is you don't — everything you need is already built into Premiere Pro.
In this video, you'll learn how to create a smooth zoom transition entirely inside Premiere Pro using adjustment layers, the Transform effect, the Mirror effect, and Lens Distortion. Once you've built it, you can copy and paste it anywhere in your timeline — and even flip it to zoom out between clips.
Beginners often get stuck on the keyframe curves and motion blur settings — it's easy to end up with something that looks stiff or off. This video walks you through each step clearly, including how to get that S-curve easing that makes the zoom feel smooth and cinematic.
By the end of this video, you'll have a reusable smooth zoom transition you can drop into any project without touching a single plugin.
