Ken Burns-style panning, zooming, stills in FCP
Does anybody else loathe the idea of moving photos or graphics around in FCP? This has got to be the clunkiest way of working I’ve ever seen. If I have more than one move to keyframe I leave FCP and go to After Effects or Motion. FCP is C-L-U-N-K-Y. Am I alone in this?

No, you’re not alone in this opinion on these boards.
But that doesn’t mean we necessarily ALL agree with you.I frequently do these kind of moves quite easily in FCP with fine results.

I have no problems with it.

Greg,
There is a plugin called PanZoomPro at lyric.com which will make your Ken Burns work about 5 times faster and WAAAY smoother WITH NO KEYFRAMES!!! Plus it has an on-board flicker filter.
It is absolutely the best way to go, much better than Moving Picture.

The best program for this is called “Moving Picture” by StageTools. It works as a FCP plugin or standalone application in both Apple and Windows machines.

Christopher,
I tested MP against PanZoomPro, and the latter is by far superior. At least to my work style.
