Use the 2D Pan/Zoom feature to pan and zoom in 2D and see the results in your scene view. Using this feature, you can view details in specific areas when doing precise tracking, placement or rotoscoping work without having to physically move your camera.
You can easily toggle in and out of pan/zoom mode. You can even create two panels and display the full camera view in one panel and the pan/zoom view in the other.
The pan/zoom mode does not render by default and therefore you have the option of rendering the full camera view or the pan/zoom view. In addition, you can also create 2D Pan/Zoom bookmarks.
To enable 2D Pan/Zoom
- In the panel menu, select View > Camera Tools > 2D Pan/Zoom Tool >

Note: After selecting the 2D Pan/Zoom Tool, you can also dolly in and out by Ctrl + dragging a box around the part of the view you want to dolly in on. If you drag the box out from left to right, you dolly in. If you drag the box out from right to left, you dolly out. - Ensure that View > Camera Settings > Ignore 2D Pan/Zoom is unchecked so that the panned/zoomed view is displayed in your scene view.
