Video Pro X16 zoom missing

I just bought Magix Video Pro X16. Previously I used Video Edit Pro 2021.

In Pro X16, under View/Animation > Size, there is no zoom at all. This makes it harder to create moving zoom effects in the new program.

Now I have to do the zoom effects in Video Edit Pro 2021, where the zoom feature was very easy to use and quick for creating zoom effects on action camera footage.

Yes, the rocket scientists in charge decided that we didn't need the dedicated zoom control. I miss it too.

It's still there, just different. Magix overhauled the whole Size/Position/Rotation effects, adding in anchor points, easy ways to adjust the position amongst other features.

Watch and learn:

Watch the other parts to fully understand the new features.

John, yes, but it would have been easier for the users to have access to a simple zoomer control as well.

PS Whoops, logged in with wrong userid.

In addition to @browj2 and @Alwyn comments, there is also the Camera zoom effect - see this short demo made with Phtosotory, the effect is identical in VPX.
