Use the same clip that's in your Premiere timeline — MP4 / MOV (H.264/HEVC)

00:00.00 / 00:00.00

Load a clip to begin.

1 · Draw & Track

Pause on a clear frame. Box: drag a rectangle around your subject. Pen: click points around the subject, then click the first point again (or double-click) to close the shape — only pixels inside your outline are used for tracking. Esc cancels. Tracking runs forwards and backwards from that frame, analysing every frame at the clip's auto-detected frame rate.

2 · Effect

Zoom amount

140%

The clip zooms in and the keyframes keep your subject centred — the DaVinci-tracker look. Position is clamped so no black edges appear.

Smoothing

Keyframe every N frames

How often a keyframe is written into the Premiere preset. 1 = a keyframe on every frame: the tightest possible lock, but a dense wall of keyframes in Effect Controls. Higher values (e.g. 3) write fewer keyframes — Premiere glides smoothly between them, the motion gets a little more fluid, and the keyframes are far easier to tweak by hand afterwards. Tracking accuracy is unaffected; this only changes how the result is written out.

3 · Export

Save the preset, then in Premiere: Effects panel → right-click Presets → Import Presets… → pick the file → drag the preset onto your clip in the timeline. Track the whole source clip so the in-point matches.
