MultiFocus · Up to 3 Areas
Multi Zoom Screen Recording: Zoom Into Multiple Areas at Once
A normal zoom shows one place. MultiFocus shows up to three places of the same frame in one zoom — the input field and the result, two parts of a dashboard, or the code and its preview — each with its own magnification.
- Up to 3 focus areas per zoom
- 1.1–8× per area
- Standard or Liquid Zoom
How MultiFocus Works
Turn it on in a zoom's settings — “Show up to three places at once in this zoom” — then set up each area separately.
01
Up to Three Places in One Zoom
MultiFocus adds up to three focus areas to a single zoom segment. All of them come from the same recorded frame and play at the same time, so the viewer sees related parts of the screen side by side.
02
Separate Magnification per Area
Each focus area zooms anywhere from 1.1× to 8×. A small status badge can be enlarged a lot while a wider panel next to it gets a gentler zoom.
03
Video Area and Canvas Position
In the standard style, each area is a split card you edit in two ways: "Video area" sets what part of the recording it shows, and "Canvas position" sets where that card sits in the frame.
04
Liquid Zoom Lenses
Choose Liquid Zoom and each focus area becomes a separate glass lens; the lenses merge into one liquid glass shape, rendered with WebGL.
05
Follow Cursor
Turn on Follow cursor for one focus area and it moves with the pointer instead of staying on a fixed spot, while the other areas stay put. One area can follow the cursor at a time.
06
Fit to Canvas and Timing
Fit to canvas sizes a standard card to fill the canvas. Timing sets when each area comes in and goes out during the zoom — all together, or one by one in sequence.
When One Zoom Is Not Enough
Many demos have a cause and an effect in different corners of the screen: you type a value in a form on the left and a total updates on the right; you change a line of code and the preview reloads. A single zoom has to choose one of them, or cut back and forth between the two. MultiFocus shows both — or three — at the same moment, each enlarged enough to read, so the viewer sees the input and the result together.
Standard Cards vs Liquid Zoom
The standard style lays the areas out as split cards of the same frame, and you control both what each card shows (Video area) and where it sits (Canvas position). That is the clearer choice for tutorials and documentation-style videos. Liquid Zoom turns the areas into glass lenses that merge into one liquid shape. It is more of a visual effect and suits product launches and social clips, where the look matters as much as the information.
A Practical Multi Zoom
Record a dashboard walkthrough as usual. On the timeline, open the zoom where you change a filter, and turn on MultiFocus. Set the first area on the filter dropdown at around 3×, the second on the chart that redraws, and the third on the total in the header. Adjust each card's Canvas position so the three read left to right, then switch Timing to one by one so the filter appears first, the chart second and the total last, in the order the viewer should read them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Limits, styles and when a multi zoom is the right call.
How many areas can I zoom into at once?
Up to three focus areas per zoom.
How far can each area zoom in?
Each MultiFocus area zooms from 1.1× to 8×. For comparison, the regular single zoom slider goes from 1× to 25×.
Where do I turn MultiFocus on?
In a zoom segment's settings, using the option "Show up to three places at once in this zoom."
What is the difference between the standard and Liquid Zoom styles?
Standard zoom shows split cards of the same frame, each with an editable Video area (what it shows) and Canvas position (where it sits). Liquid Zoom shows separate glass lenses that merge into one liquid glass shape, rendered with WebGL.
Can the focus follow my cursor?
Yes. Turn on Follow cursor for a focus area and it moves with the cursor. One area can follow the cursor at a time; the others stay where you placed them.
What are good uses for a multi zoom?
Showing an input field and its result at the same time, comparing two parts of a dashboard, or showing code next to its live preview.
