I've been trying to get my brother to do this on his fishing videos! I've never used the animations the way you showed them. I'll have to give that a try!

Thank you for posting this video! Do you also a tip for using a static photo and video edit it so you see the photo from left to right in 5-10 seconds?
Hopefully I have explained it clearly. Thank you in advance!

Way too complicated. I want to just pinch in and out. Doesn't matter if it's slightly blurry
