How does one make Ken Burns pans a *consistent speed*?

I love using the KB effect for pans and zooms, but what if I want to composite several pans across a very long piece of artwork?
Case in point, I'm cutting together a pan across all of the individual colour strips from the Police album "Synchronicity".
The problem is, each piece starts slooooow, gradually build momentum, then slows at the end. So when I try to edit all of the strips together, it's all sllllllooooow fast sllllooooooow fast etc.

Can't find anything obvious to adjust settings for a *consistent speed from go to woah*.

Help appreciated.

Cheers

When the introns are actually ve you should be able to right-click in the viewer and select linear.

If you wanna do that I wouldn't use Ken Burns at all. Instead I'd use keyframes in the Transform area of the inspector. Keep in mind that when you enable a keyframe at the beginning and end of the image you wish to pan/scale you will need to right-click on that point in the Viewer and select LINEAR (don't forget to to it on BOTH points!) Make sure the TRANSFORM tool is selected in the bottom left corner of the viewer when you do this.

Ken Burns does not just mimic pans and zooms in the way ease-in/ease-out keyframes could with transformation tools. It obviously uses behaviours., like Motion. Therefore: Motion?

Best option is to acquire a third party plug in to do this.

This one is very good (and free):
blog.alex4d.com/2011/08/04/smooth-move-fpx-effect/

This one has a slightly more friendly interface/presets and is pretty cheap:

**Although I prefer the previous version of this plug-in if you can ask them if they'll include it. The "Version 3" added a lot of UI clutter that made it less useful, in my opinion.

Thanks, I just bought the KB3 plug and have requested the older version.
Looks good, I'll give it a shot!
