I don’t think i will be able to get access to either of those two programs. How is it done in FCP?

Sorry. I’m working on Final Cut Express.

This should get you going. It’s designed for FCE users, but it’s basically the same in FCP.
All the best,

Hi Holly,
Have a look at our free Pan and Zoom plug-in to create “Ken Burns” animations inside FCP, Motion and AE. Also works in Final Cut Express!

Put the clip in the timeline, double click to open it in the viewer, go to the motion tab on the clip, put playhead or first frame. Click the diamond next to scale to set a keyframe. Move sliders for scale as required. Click on the diamond by position, then the cross for position as required (drag cross to canvas to move footage). Move playhead to last frame of clip, repeat process (for end of move – will not require you to press diamond button as new keyframes are automagically created now). Done.
If you want dissolves between clips, note that the two keyframes need to be at the first and last frames of the dissolves, which will be earlier/later than with cuts, so apply the dissolve first.

When using the Motion window as Ben suggests, using travel mattes is a great way to go. It gets you around the keyframe issues on the dissolves.
