Ken Burns and keyframes!
This is my first time using ken burns in FCPX and what I want is for the Ken Burns effect to have already begun by the time the clip starts playing. That way there’s no pause before the zoom begins. Is this possible via keyframing? If so, what’s the best way to achieve this?
I assume I could do it by elongating the clips and making a secondary time line but that seems very clumsy. any ideas?
Thanks.,

Just use a connected clip, but place it under the outgoing clip in the timeline so you don’t see the Ken Burns shot until the effect has started. Like so:

You can also keyframe the crop tool in crop mode. It’s essentially the same thing but without the pointless ease in ease out. And did I mention you can keyframe it?
I’ve come to realize that the crop tool is the new scale and position for most things, and the trim tool is actually the crop tool. The transform tool would be nice, but it too insists on ease in ease out on some parameters like scale, but let’s you create a linear move.
