Sizing and positioning photos across clips

I have a number of video clips and each one has a still photo within it.  Is there a way to size and position the photos across multiple clips so when the video transitions, the photos are in the same spot?  Trying to avoid the jarring effect of the photo jumping to a new size and position when it changes.  Thanks!

One way:

 

Place the clip that has the desired still photo position on video track 1.  

Temporarily place each other clip, on at a time, on video track 2.

Lower the opacity of the clip on track 2 so that you can see both clips and adjust its scale and position until the still photos on each track line up.

Move the clip to its position on track 1.

Repeat for other clips. 

 

Note: You may need to increase the scale of the clip on track 1 if the other videos don't fill the frame when adjusting scale and position.
