Another way of zooming in?

Is there a way to let Premiere zoom-in for 0.5% every second without creating keyframes? (In a smooth way.)
I need this because I have different pictures I want to zoom-in with the same speed, but they have different lenght and I just don't want to create keyframes for every single picture.

Okay, thx, but it isn't possible to do this when the clips have different lenght (so maybe 1:34, 0:47:03 tec.) ?


Oh I forgot to mention to set 'Anchor to In Point' and not 'Scale' if you are creating a preset,

this will preserve the distance (time) between the scale keyframes and start at the in point of each clip.

So creating a 5 seconds long scale preset anchored to in point, then dropped on all your footage

will make them scale up for 5 seconds no matter how long they are, unless if you apply the preset

and then time stretch or change your clips duration or speed after applying the preset.

You cannot zoom/scale without keyframes.

It is just a matter of a simple calculation.

If you want 0,5% per second, the scale for a clip of say 5 seconds will be 2,5%.

I am not sure what 1:34 is? 1 second 34 frames? What framerate are you using.

Is was just an example. My problem is, that I'm editting a bunch of pictures (ca. 200) and I don't want to calculate it for every picture. Because there is a voiceover, every picture has it's own lenght.

01. Create the scale keyframes on the first picture

02. Right click on the picture - Copy

03. Select all your other pictures on the timeline

04. Right click on the selected images - Paste Attributes

This will paste the scale keyframes of the first image to all the others at once

The problem is, that the pictures haven't the same lenght. That's why the smaller ones are zomming-in faster than the bigger ones.
