# The camera follows the cursor on its own

Published: 2026-09-06 - Runtime: 0:51 - Area: Cursor Zoom Tracking - Tags: Cursor Zoom Tracking

This automatic zoom tracking follows your cursor as you record with the native recorder, placing zooms at each click and redrawing a crisp pointer at your chosen size — with no manual keyframes required. Tracking starts the moment recording begins and the zooms are already in the timeline before you open the studio to edit.

Native recording automatically places zooms and redraws a crisp cursor without manual keyframes or curves.

## What changed

Zoom tracking now starts automatically the instant recording begins, with zooms placed at each click directly in the timeline before editing starts. The cursor is redrawn crisp at a size you choose, and camera movement follows the cursor without manual keyframes or curves.

## Why it matters

You get natural-looking zooms that match what actually happened during recording without any manual setup or keyframe adjustment. This saves editing time while keeping the pointer sharp and readable at any zoom size.

## Steps

1. Record using the native recorder
2. Let tracking start automatically as recording begins
3. Open the studio to find zooms already placed at each click in the timeline
4. Open the Edit panel to fine-tune look, framing, and cursor
5. Choose a pointer size (small, medium, or large)
6. Press play to review the camera following the cursor

## Transcript

You can record with the native recorder, and the camera already knows where to look. Tracking starts the instant recording begins, no setup required. Zooms were placed for you, one at each click, right there in the timeline, before you even opened the studio to start editing.

The Edit panel holds the look, framing and cursor, ready to fine tune. The pointer is redrawn crisp, in the size you choose. Press play, and the camera moves with the cursor, in and out. No keyframes and no curves to adjust, the zoom simply follows the work naturally, exactly as it happened.

Small, medium or large, the pointer stays sharp at any zoom.
