"Advanced" zoom in movement in Premiere Pro

Hey, I am editing a video and I wanted to know how I can make a "triangle" shaped movement? Basically the video is at default settings -> the video zooms in to the left corner -> then it moves to the right corner (still same amount of zoom) -> the video gets back to default settings (position, scale).

I only managed to do half of the video and have absolutely no idea what to do next.

Thanks for any response!

    I'm not sure why you have the Transform effect on there. You can do all of this with 3 or more keyframes in the regular Position+Scale parameters under the Motion tab. 

    1. Keyframe 1: zoom into the top left corner (position+scale)
    2. Keyframe 2: move to the top right corner (position)
    3. Keyframe 3: zoom back out and re-center (position+scale)

    If you need it to "hold" before it moves then just duplicate the preceding keyframe.

    And if I was doing this I would start at the end by keyframing #3 first, since you already start with the video centered and zoomed out.

      Are you staying inside the monitor window or does the whole picture of you scaled down as it is move to the corners, outside of the PP background monitor panel?
