How zooms move
Feel sets the motion every zoom inherits: its curve and how long it takes to arrive and to pull back. You can also zoom only the screen and leave the background still.

- In
- How long a zoom takes to arrive. Under 300 ms feels like a jump.
- Out
- How long it takes to pull back. It need not match the push.
- What a zoom magnifies
- Whole frame magnifies the background and the rounded edges with the content, as if the camera moved in. Screen only magnifies just the recording.
- Zoom the background too
- With Screen only, whether the background comes along.
A zoom you set by hand keeps its own curve. Apply to all zooms gives every zoom this curve and these lengths.
