Automatic Ken Burns Effect

Does anyone know a way to do the automatic Ken Burns effect that they have in iMovie or Final Cut? I am currently doing it manually by clicking each individual picture > Effect Controls > clicking Motion > key frames for position and scale > and then dragging the picture manually.

It gets very time consuming if you are doing this for a slide show with 40-50 pictures.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

    Once one image is done you can save the effect as a preset.

    You can keyframe the first photo, highlight it on the timeline, and then copy it.

    Highlight all of the other photos and right click and choose paste attributes. Select the motion properties.
