 * I would like to scale down (zoom out) the 360 video such that more aurora can
   be seen. I tried with the Scale parameter but in vain. If I play the clip with
   VLC, I am able to scale it down and view more aurora in the sky. Is there a way
   to do so? I don’t mean to add control for zoom in or out.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fscale-parameter%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi cliang,
 * I believe you can achieve what you are looking for with the FoV (field of view)
   parameter. Effectively, when you’re zooming in, you are just reducing the FoV,
   if you consider how regular lens work. Please try reducing the FoV and let me
   know if this will differ from your expectations.
 * On another note, most 360 cameras have relatively low resolution, around 5K or
   even less. So zooming in will likely make your image look worse, unless you have
   a very high res camera.
 * Also, as you’re adjusting the FoV, also consider adjusting the size of the view
   port, especially the height of the block. This will make the image look better
   at the edges.
 * Regards,
   Andrey
