ScreenSage ProAdd Effects to the Timeline
The Add button at the top left of the timeline collects every effect you can place on it. By default, you pick an effect and click once on the timeline to place it. In the interface, it's the ＋ Add button above the track names, which opens the "Add to Timeline" menu.
1. Choose what to add
| Category | Options |
|---|---|
| Zoom | Magnify the whole frame, magnify around the cursor, 3D Zoom |

2. Place it on the timeline
After choosing, move the pointer over the target track to see a placement preview:
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Click | Place at the pointer |
| ⇧-click | Place and keep placing |
| ↩ | Place at the playhead |
| Hold ⌥ while choosing | Add at the playhead without a preview |
| Esc | Cancel |
Placement snaps to the playhead, the start and the edges of neighboring clips. If a clip is already there or the gap is too short, you'll be told it can't be placed.
