There is no such thing as zooming or up-scaling while maintaining "quality"? It's a matter of picking and choosing your scenes carefully and not zooming in too much. In a lot of cases people transition from 1 shot into another during the zoom. This obviously only works if you have both a wide and closer shot of your subject.
There are also thing such as using HD sources in a SD timeline. Which would basically mean that you're down-scaling everything to SD and zooming/scaling back to the native res when zooming. It's a backwards solution. If you don't care about having your video being HD tho, it'll effectively keep your video as crisp as possible. Provided you don't scale/zoom over the "100%"?
In short, there is no way of actually doing this. It's all just little backwards tricks to give the illusion of maintaining a crisp full res look.
