Ken Burns Effect - Matching start and end frames?

I am doing a Ken Burns effects were I simply track left to right. Is it possible to match the frame size for the start and end frame?

At the moment I am finding this impossible to do. The move has a slight gradient because I cannot match the frame sizes.

Any help greatly appreciated.

You can lay the red frame over the green frame to match the size and then move them wherever you like. Is that what you're talking about?

that doesn't exactly match the frame sizes unfortunately. I don' think there is way round this one.

I'm doing it now, and it matches perfectly.

I'm working on a project with a whole bunch of clips drifting right-to-left through frame. A pain to keyframe, so I built myself a stupid-simple Motion effect that I can drop on a clip (just a Throw behaviour, but with the initial position published so I can offset the frame starting point right/left).

The 'gotcha' is that throw speed scales itself to the duration of the clip, it's not fixed as I'd hoped and expected. Big thanks to Mark Spencer for helping me with that over Twitter - the solution is to set a Loop End marker in the Motion project, which locks the duration scaling.

Anyway - if you're doing a lot of this, you might look to building yourself a custom effect in Motion rather than trying to fiddle with Ken Burns moves.

yea...thanks. I think I will go the Motion route as its not possible to match them with Ken Burns effect.

Cheers.

Or keyframe the first one, copy, select the rest and Paste Attributes. Yes, it will paste keyframes.
