I want to make a pan going left to right, the a right to left pan. Do I change the position and scale under video effects/motion or do I first need to drop transform over the clip? In other words, what's the difference between changing position/scale vs dropping transform on the clip and then changing position/scale? Sorry if this is confusing, still learning.

Using the Transform effect allows you to introduce Motion Blur:

Effect Controls is the most direct way.

An elegant way is to use the anchor point for panning.

It can be accomplished with either the transform effect or in the effect controls panel.

I see no reason to go through the effect and highlight the clip and perform your key framing in the effect controls panel.
