Title: Mastering Zoom Transitions in EDIUS: From Basic to Cinematic
Introduction In the fast-paced world of video editing, movement keeps your audience engaged. While simple cuts work for dialogue, Zoom Transitions add energy, emphasize detail, or create a smooth "whoosh" between clips. In EDIUS (Grass Valley), you have two distinct ways to achieve this: using the built-in GPUfx Zoom or manually keyframing the Layout tool.
Here is how to master both.

- Drag the "Zoom" transition onto the cut between two clips.
