a manual Ken Burns effect). For details on working with built-in effects, see

Pan and zoom clips with the Ken Burns effect
The Ken Burns effect creates a pan and zoom effect using the start and end positions you define.
The Ken Burns effect is actually a Crop effect with two crop settings, one at the clip start and
another at its end.
You can further customize the Ken Burns effect by controlling the smoothness of the animation.
The motion applied to a clip when you create a Ken Burns effect is automatically smoothed so
that the movement accelerates slowly as the animation starts, and decelerates slowly as the
clip comes to rest at the end of the animation. This simulates the effects of friction and inertia
that occur in the real world. In visual effects software, this trick is commonly called ease out and
ease in.
By default, a Ken Burns animation performs both of these smoothing operations (Ease Out and
Ease In), but you can customize the effect to limit the result to just easing out, just easing in, or
making a linear movement with no simulated inertia or friction.
