Why we like it

ZoomAssist Pro earns its place in the Adobe Exchange library as a free UXP plugin that keeps punch zooms as editable Premiere Pro keyframes rather than baked-in effects.

What is ZoomAssist Pro?

ZoomAssist Pro is a free plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro aimed at editors who build punch zooms. Rather than manually setting Scale, Position, and Anchor keyframes for every zoom, you select a clip, capture a frame at the playhead, choose a focus point, pick a preset, and apply the zoom directly to the selected clip.

The plugin is designed for editing screen recordings, tutorials, course videos, social content, product demos, and fast-paced edits where repeated zooms can become time-consuming. Presets cover Cinematic, Smooth, Punch, and Instant zooms, with custom zoom scale, optional motion blur, and optional timeline markers for applied zoom ranges. The zooms it creates stay as editable Premiere Pro keyframes, and there is no baked-in export workflow.

ZoomAssist Pro is built as an independent UXP plugin for Premiere Pro and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Adobe.

What changed in ZoomAssist Pro version 1.2.6?

ZoomAssist Pro version 1.2.6 adds a responsive wide-panel layout, so when the panel is docked wide the controls arrange into a two-column view for a less cramped workspace. The update also fixes a scrollbar that appeared unnecessarily in the Settings view and a modal backdrop that wasn't covering the full panel area. It rounds out with minor UI polish and version label corrections, and was last updated on 2026-05-29.
