What is a pop-out?

Definition

A pop-out lifts one part of the screen out of the recording and brings it forward, enlarged, as a floating card.

Unlike a zoom, the rest of the screen stays in view for context while the chosen region is shown large. It suits a number, a chart or a small panel that deserves a moment.

In Sceed

Pop-out is one of the two region effects in Sceed’s free plan.

Zoom and pan is moving a virtual camera over a video: zooming magnifies part of the frame, and panning slides the view across it.
Spotlight
A spotlight dims or blurs everything in the frame except one region, so attention goes to that region.
Callout
A callout is a label attached to part of the screen, usually an outline round the region with a short piece of text, that tells viewers what to look at.
