3D Effects & Perspective
ScreenSage Pro's built-in 3D rendering engine transforms flat screen recordings into dynamic videos with spatial depth. 3D effects layer on top of Zoom Modes — think of it as a "perspective filter" applied over your camera logic. Different zoom modes combined with different 3D presets produce dramatically different visual experiences.
Visual Comparison
2D and 3D zooms have distinct aesthetics and use cases.
2D Flat: Pure panning — ideal for formal documentation.
3D Perspective: Natural tilt as the camera moves, simulating real cinematography.
Enabling 3D Effects
(Optional) Select a 3D preset before recording in auto-generate zoom.

Click an existing zoom segment on the timeline — the inspector panel appears on the right.
Select a preset
Auto-generated zooms default to "Auto" mode. Choose from 3D Effects:
- None: Pure 2D flat mode
- Auto: Smart tilt calculation — usually the most natural choice
- Rotate Left/Right: Force side angle (Y-axis rotation)
- Tilt Up/Down: Force overhead/underfoot view (X-axis rotation)
- Perspective: Enhanced center perspective for dramatic depth
