Body

application/json

Automatically generate tracking zooms from the mouse clicks in the clip's screen recording — the API twin of the editor's "Generate zooms". Warning: by default this replaces the clip's existing tracking zooms (see replaceExisting).

intensity
enum<string>

How aggressively to zoom. slow opens fewer, longer windows; fast opens shorter, tighter ones at a higher scale. Defaults to medium.

Available options:
slow,
medium,
fast
Example:

"medium"

replaceExisting
boolean

Defaults to true: the clip's existing tracking zooms are REMOVED before the generated ones are added, so repeated calls regenerate instead of stacking. Pass false to keep existing tracking zooms. Manual zooms are never touched.

Example:

true

scale
number

Override the magnification factor (1 = no zoom, 3.5 = max). Defaults to the intensity preset's scale (1.5 for slow/medium, 2 for fast).

Required range: 1 <= x <= 3.5
Example:

1.5

Response

OK

Zooms generated from the clip's mouse activity

zooms
object[]
required

The generated tracking zooms, in ms on the clip's playback timeline (cuts applied). Empty when the screen recording has no usable mouse clicks.
