Why we like it

SuperZoom earns its place in the aescripts library for automating the setup behind cinematic zoom-ins—sorting, stacking, warping, aligning, and color-matching imported shots into a parented comp without manual work. Note that it currently runs on Windows only.

What is SuperZoom?

SuperZoom is an After Effects plugin from MotionCodes for building cinematic zoom-ins from real-world photography. Capture images at different distances, even with a phone, and import them into After Effects. From there, SuperZoom sorts, auto-stacks, warps, aligns, and color-enhances each shot, then builds a parented comp that auto-focuses on your subject.

The images are layered and parented inside After Effects, so scaling stays intuitive. Scale the main layer to zoom through all frames and land precisely on your subject. No special gear is required to capture the source shots.

SuperZoom is aimed at mobile creators, motion designers, and editors working with elegant zoom transitions. It works only on Windows, with macOS support noted as coming soon, and supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
