Pro tip: I paused a local news clip at 0:42 and caught the anchor's teleprompter showing the wrong city twice
I was watching WKYC out of Cleveland on Tuesday and something looked off during the weather segment. I paused it at 0:42 and the teleprompter behind the anchor clearly said 'Akron' while he was saying 'Cleveland' on air. I clipped the 8 seconds and posted it in a group chat, and now three people have sent it back to me as a 'viral fail' without knowing I'm the one who caught it. Does anyone know a free tool to zoom into a paused frame without making it look like mush?

Akron vs Cleveland on the same teleprompter is peak local news energy, and honestly I would've done the exact same thing and then been weirdly annoyed when nobody knew it was me who caught it. For zooming in on a paused frame, your best bet is honestly just screen recording the pause on your phone and pinching to zoom while you record, because most free editors like CapCut will let you scale the clip up but it gets soft fast. VLC has a zoom feature under the video menu that's decent if you're on a computer, though past about 150 percent it turns into a watercolor painting. Take this with a grain of salt since I'm usually just cropping screenshots for group chats, but that combo has worked okay for me when I need to show a buddy something tiny on screen.
