Thanks so much for another great tip! I think you could also tweak your edit points later with the trim tool since Ken Burns effect is clip based. 🙂
Would be awesome if Apple were to put the Ken Burns specs in the inspector to make exact edits.
Great editing tip, guys – as always 🙂
Just a thought: to get even more precise matching between the split clips, you could simply reverse the start and end points after pasting the Ken Burns cropping attributes to the 2nd clip, so the end of the first clip would exactly match the start of the next one. Then it wouldn’t matter so much if your end points are that far out as the zoom out would be very gradual again.
