To master the Zoom FX, avoid overusing it. When every cut is a zoom, the viewer can suffer from "motion sickness" or fatigue. Reserve the effect for that require a dramatic shift or a boost in energy. Ensure your subjects are centered or logically placed so the eye isn't forced to jump across the screen during the rapid movement.

Open the Layouter for the second clip. On the first frame, set the scale to 50% (or lower). Move forward a few frames and set a keyframe back to 100%.

If your first clip zooms in , your second clip should also zoom in to maintain the forward momentum. Mixing a zoom-in with a zoom-out mid-transition can be disorienting.

Applying these transitions follows the standard EDIUS workflow: Zoom Transition | Dynamic Zooms with Film Impact

Grass Valley introduced GPUfx to leverage your graphics card for real-time effects. Within the GPUfx folder, you will find basic zoom variations:

Open the Effect palette (often grouped with the Bin window) and expand the Transitions folder.

By using keyframes in the Layouter, you can adjust the "Ease In" and "Ease Out" settings. This ensures the zoom doesn't start or stop abruptly, mimicking natural kinetic motion.
