How does it work in Cutora?
- After the cuts, Cutora looks for stressed words and for long stretches where nothing on screen changes.
- It adds a punch-in on those moments, within the framing rules below.
- Each zoom is a row in the Edits list with its time and what it does.
- Preview the video. Remove or restore any zoom you disagree with.
What are the framing rules?
- No zoom goes past 1.15 times.
- Framing changes are at least four seconds apart.
- The opening three seconds keep the same framing, so the start stays steady.
What do you control?
- Zooms, cards and text on screen are one stage, Motion, and you can switch it off for a video.
- Effects style is Energetic, Clean or None.
- Remove or restore any single zoom from the Edits list.
- Ask the chat for "no zoom on the intro", or for more zooms.

FAQ
How big is a punch-in?
No larger than 1.15 times. That ceiling applies to every style.
Can a zoom start in the opening seconds of the video?
No. The opening three seconds keep the same framing.
Can I remove one zoom without turning them all off?
Yes. Remove or restore any single zoom from the Edits list.
Is it the same in the preview and the export?
Yes. The editor plans the effects with the same function the export uses, so the preview and the file agree.
