Adobe Express - Pan and Zoom effect for images?

Hi guys, I'm new to using Adobe Express and I would like to animate photos so that they appear as panning & zooming videos for an Instagram reel.

The In & Out animation is clear, but how do you prevent the fade-in... so a photo is simply shown panning across the screen?

 

Thanks for your help

To be honest After Effects and Premiere have dedicated tools for creating smooth motion graphics like The Ken Burns Effect.

Adobe Express's image & text animations can't compete with video software.

Use the right tools for the job.

I second this question. Using other tools is honestly overkill on many projects, and express does a great job for creating quick social media videos. Is there anyone from support that can chime on this?
