Dolly Zoom (Vertigo Shot)
Camera tracks toward or away from the subject while the field of view changes the opposite way, so the subject holds its frame size while the background collapses behind it or rushes in. Focal length is solved from dolly distance every frame against d * tan(FOV/2) = const, not keyframed beside it. Requires depth: the subject sits on the z = 0 plane and the content behind it must be layered or genuinely 3D (translateZ at two or more distinct depths) -- a flat element gains nothing from this move.

Use it
Ask the agent. It copies this component into your project and edits it there — nothing to install, and rendering happens in the cloud.
“Add the camera-dolly-zoom scene to my video and set its props to match my brand.”

All camera moves & focusRack Focus
A focus pull with real aperture bokeh: the focal plane travels from a near subject to a far one, so one resolves as the other blows into hard-edged polygon discs that clip to a cat's eye toward the corners. A focus pull only reads against content at two clearly separated depths, so this block carries its own depth-layered night exterior and puts both subject depths on variables.
Focus Rack
Focus shifts once between two cards at different apparent depths through synchronized blur, dimming, scale, and parallax.
Camera Punch-In
Dynamic zoom, slide, and 3D tilt-pan helpers for any wrapper (video, include, card) with cubic-easing defaults and an edge-defocus pulse overlay
Drift Hold
A centered content card stays subtly alive through loop-exact rotation, scale breathing, and a slow light sweep.
Pan Stations
A lateral camera move across a continuous row of labeled feature stations, with a steady dwell at each stop before the next pan.
Parallax Device Dive
A canonical phone rises into view before the camera pushes through its screen and layered app UI expands to fill the frame.
