Features

Zoom to every click

Every click becomes a zoom point. One button turns a whole recording into a moving edit.

Highlight the cursor

A glow that makes the pointer impossible to lose.

Replace the pointer

Swap the tiny system cursor for a larger, clearer one.

Magnifier

A loupe that follows the cursor, for fine detail.

Keystroke display

Shows the shortcuts you pressed, rendered into the picture so they survive the export.

Depth and atmosphere

3D perspective, screen pixels, tilt shift and camera shake. Each can fade in on its own as the shot pushes in.

Two graphs appear right in the Resolve viewer, so you can drag your zoom points around instead of hunting through the inspector.

You can also use the plugin without the recorder, and place zoom points by hand.
