    and if you want to change the timing of your preset, just choose scale when saving it,

    this will scale the frames accordingly to the length of your clip (cut)

    well, all kidding aside... if you just work on it say one half hour per day...more than likely the whole thing will be done in a few days. The trick is to just get started doing it...and it will get done OK.  I bet it will look really nice too, because you do good stuff... so just do it that way... little at a time, so it isn't so terrible long a time for the whole thing...

    hmmm. Sorry. Probably easiest way to do it quick is to take the computer and edit program and throw it out window and just stop editing completely. Sorry, but it's life ...sometimes you have to do the work to get stuff done.

    Good luck !

    you can simply create a preset for that, then drag and drop the preset at the start of each cut

    as demonstrated in this short video I prepared

    Hot To Create a Zoom and Cut Premiere Pro Preset - YouTube

    I been trying to do that but something is not right. Let say i want to start zoom in from sec. 2 of my video up to sec. 4 on a timeline then from sec. 4 to sec. 8 zoom out and again from sec. 8 to sec. 10 zoom in and from sec. 10 to sec. 14 zoom out. And all clip like that. Can you show me on video example how you do it by my time.

    make cuts on the frames you want your zoom in and outs. You don't have to do anything with those 'cuts' ( like delete any of them) but by making the cuts you are making individual 'clips'.   So, move your playhead (CTI) to the first place you want to make a change ( you will have to be zoomed in very much so you can advance frame by frame and see exactly what frames you have on timeline ).

    After making cut at the 'start' of where you want zoom transition, go to the end of the timeline frames where you want to STOP the transition. In this case let's say it is your beginning of 4 second and end of 8 second frames.

    Once you make the cuts... go BACK to the 4 second cut you made and do your keyframe beginning scale...then go to the next cut ( 8 second) and make your second keyframe scale...

    Each time you make 'cuts' in your timeline you are telling the timeline you have a 'clip' duration. Once you made the cuts, go back to the beginning and do what you want with that clip ( scale, etc. ).

    good luck !

    Scale option in the effect control  , but you have to take care of video quality and you will apply key framing option at the starting and end points for your scaling  .

    best

    Didn't you post this once already right here: How can i do this effect in Pemiere Pro? By "whole video," do you mean multiple video layers all at once? If so, like the guy in the other post said, highlight the clips that you want to scale, right-click, and select Nest... Then you can set your keyframes in the Effects Controls Panel. Is that what you are trying to do?

    No i mean apply scale to the whole video so i dont need to scale every frame separately. Let say i want to zoom in 2 sec. then zoom out 4 sec. and whole the video like that.

    This is less of a zoom and more of a cut in. You are "zooming in" on the footage, but since we're not seeing it actually transition from wide to close, it's really just a cut from wide to close.

    From what I understand, you want a 1-hour long video, where, for several seconds at a time, the footage will be zoomed out, before cutting to the footage zoomed in for a few seconds, then back to zoomed out, over and over again for the duration of the video? The tutorial you linked accomplishes that, but has a very strange way of going about it. Help us understand what you need and we can help you understand how to get it done!


    Let say i wanna do 2 sec.zoom in and 4 sec.zoom out and whole video like that.

    How can i do it all at once so i dont need to do it separately on each frame?

    I wanna have same zoom in and zoom out effect as in this video example
