Hover zoom effect on blog post images

I have a basic blog grid with images that I would like to have the titles on top of images rather than below. Also wondering how i can add a smooth zoom on hover

You mean

Initial: Show image, hide text

Hover: Show text over image + zoom image a bit?

Yes but show text initially as well

So the effect will be

Initial: Show image, show text over image

Hover: Show image, show text over image + zoom image a bit?

Is that right?

Add to Design > Custom CSS

/* Blig List - Hover Effect */
.blog-basic-grid--text {
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    text-align: center;
    transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
    opacity: 1;
    transition: all 0.3s;
}
article.blog-basic-grid--container.entry.blog-item{
    position: relative !important;
    transform: unset !important;
}
article.blog-basic-grid--container.entry.blog-item:hover img {
    transform: scale(1.2);
    transition: all 0.3s ease;
}
img {
    transition: all 0.3s ease;
}

That's essentially what I'm going for but is it also possible to left align the text anchored to the bottom left corner of the image like in this screenshot?-

Also trying to add a black gradient at the bottom of the image to make the text stand out

Try this new code

/* Blig List - Hover Effect */
.blog-basic-grid--text {
    position: absolute;
    left: 10px;
    bottom: 10px;
    text-align: left;
    opacity: 1;
    transition: all 0.3s;
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5)
}
article.blog-basic-grid--container.entry.blog-item{
    position: relative !important;
    transform: unset !important;
}
article.blog-basic-grid--container.entry.blog-item:hover img {
    transform: scale(1.2);
    transition: all 0.3s ease;
}
img {
    transition: all 0.3s ease;
}

This is what I am getting here- the gradient doesnt span the full width of the image. I'd also like it to go a bit higher than the text itself if possible

Use this new code

/* Blig List - Hover Effect */
.blog-basic-grid--text {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    right: 0;
    text-align: left;
    opacity: 1;
    transition: all 0.3s;
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
    width: 100% !important;
}
.blog-basic-grid--text>* {
    padding-bottom: 10px;
    padding-left: 10px;
}
article.blog-basic-grid--container.entry.blog-item{
    position: relative !important;
    transform: unset !important;
}
article.blog-basic-grid--container.entry.blog-item:hover img {
    transform: scale(1.2);
    transition: all 0.3s ease;
}
img {
    transition: all 0.3s ease;
}

That did it thank you so much!
