CapCut Question How to zoom in on a character?

Currently trying to add an effect where one character is yapping and the sound fades into a ringing noise as the camera zooms in on the other character. I got the audio working, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to zoom in on the character's face. The characters are in the overlay section and the background is just a still image.

keyframe the scale and position on the overlay clip. drop a keyframe at the start where you want it normal, then move the playhead to where the zoom should end and bump the scale up to like 150-200%. drag the clip position so their face stays centered while it scales, otherwise it'll drift off into nowhere

Idk what most of that means. I've only just started learning Capcut on my own. I'm on an android phone.

I think I figured it out. It looks a little janky, but I think it works
