I have cropped a video to take up roughly a third of the total frame. Now I'd like to slowly zoom in on that video whilst keeping the cropping ratio.
When I use the transform tool to zoom in it loses its position.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Thank you!
Put the video in a compound clip, and scale the compound clip.

Here it is.
It is working for me, and I hope it's useful, but is not a finished product, and I am just providing it "as is", with no guarantees.

That's a great idea, actually!
What I had in mind was similar, but I had not thought of masking in this way.
Instead of a solid color with a blend mode, I was using an adjustment layer to put the shape mask on - the compound clip technique is the same.
In the end, I think the results are equivalent.
When I do that it still changes the crop I previously did to position it.
I have attached an image that hopefully helps explain it. I want to keep the position of clip B but zoom in and move the video inside of it.
I just did a draft version of an effect.
It is not polished, but if you like I can share it. It allows for changing the position and size of the mask separately from the clip. Just apply the effect to a clip, and adjust things in the Inspector.
Ok, I will send it to myself via wetransfer and will post the link here. Grab it from the e-mail, as it will soon be deleted.
I added a popup for easily placing on either corner.
All the parameters can be keyframed.
Oh, I see. I had misunderstood your goal.
I will have to think about this. I would probably do it with a custom effect, or use an adjustment layer.
I will test this a bit tomorrow.

That works, thank you! I thought there would be an easier option but this is a good work around
