MKBHD Bounce Cut

digital zoom effect popularized by tech reviewer Marques Brownlee (MKBHD), characterized by a rapid zoom-in with a slight "bounce" or overshoot, a brief hold for emphasis, and a corresponding zoom-out. It serves to punctuate a key point or highlight a specific detail on screen, functioning as a form of visual punctuation in monologue-driven content. This technique replaces a traditional cutaway or graphic, keeping the focus on the primary speaker while adding dynamic energy.
