Can I avoid motion keyframe tedium?
When creating a video slideshow from several photos with PPro 1.5, which involves adding various motion effects to each still (e.g. panning, zooming in/out, etc), I tend to place the motion keyframes at the very beginning and end of each photo clip. I then add a default 1-second dissolve transition between each clip. The problem is that the motion keyframes are now spaced 0.5 seconds away from the ends of each clip because the transition lengthens each clip by 0.5 seconds per side. Is there an easy or automatic way to re-position the keyframes to the ends again? I hate doing this manually after all the trasitions are added – it’s very tedious. Also, if I trim the clips to different durations, the keyframe positions no longer match the ends. I wish PPro had an option to automatically reposition motion keyframes at the beginning and ends of clips.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

I don’t want to highjack the thread but I have a similar workflow problem with motion animated stills so it seemed like it should be in this thread.
I want key frames at the beginning and end of each of my clips and I want every starting keyframe to be set to Ease In and every ending keyframe to be Ease In. Doing this by hand is annoying after a while.
What’s the quickest way to do that when I want to apply different directions of motion (and scaling) to different clips?

I believe you can set this up on a sample still and then save the settings as a preset. Apply the preset to one of the stills in each project you do, and then copy and paste the attributes of that still to the rest. Once they all have beginning and ending keyframes, you can add additional motion to them without having to change the keyframe type.
