Virtual Cam Operator
VideoPan, zoom and track a virtual camera over your capture.
Virtual Cam Operator adds the camera moves a static recording is missing. Zoom in on the part of the frame that matters and pan across it — with the mouse wheel in real time — so a fixed screen capture or a locked-off webcam shot gains some motion. The composited result is rendered in your browser, so the source footage never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions
What does a virtual camera operator do?
It lets you pan and zoom around footage you've already recorded, as though a camera operator had been following the action. You move the view while the video plays and those moves are captured as keyframes, then rendered into the final clip.
What is it useful for?
Tightening up a wide screen recording so viewers can actually read what's happening, following a subject that drifts around the frame, or turning a static wide shot into something with movement — especially when reframing to vertical for Shorts.
Will zooming in make the video blurry?
Zooming crops into the existing pixels, so a heavy zoom on low-resolution footage will soften. Recording at a higher resolution than you need gives you room to push in without visible loss — the same trade a real camera crop makes.
Is the footage uploaded?
No. Playback, the camera moves and the final render all happen in your browser, so the recording never leaves your device.
