HOW IT WORKS
Cinematic documentary storytelling, made approachable.
How do zoom shots work?
Start with the full page, select regions on it, then reorder shots. Control the opening and destination frames for push-ins, pull-outs, pans and holds. Add markers, underlines, boxes, circles or spotlights. Camera movement is animated locally without AI.
Is AI required?
No. Fast image-detail suggestions help locate visual subjects without AI. Optional free browser OCR can propose word and paragraph regions when a model is available; nothing is uploaded to PixelOkay.
Can I work with a PDF?
Yes, in compatible browsers when the optional free PDF.js dependency loads. Pages are rasterized locally for animation. Embedded searchable text is not required.
Can I edit the project again?
Yes. Save a JSON project with embedded page images, camera shots and settings. Voiceovers up to 4 MB are embedded; larger audio files must be reattached after reopening.

Using Documentary Zoom & Focus Maker
Import images or optional PDF pages, select regions manually or review OCR proposals, arrange camera shots and export a section.
Detail suggestions are heuristics, not document comprehension. Optional PDF.js/Tesseract runtimes and language data download externally. OCR needs correction. Composition is capped at 120 seconds; export at 90 seconds. JSON embeds page images and may contain sensitive content. Native recording is real time.
