Pan & zoom, applying to all clips simultaneously?

[brucefl]

Other than in movie wizard, is there a way to apply the pan and zoom to all clips at once?
When I insert the pictures and highlight them all, the pan and zoom disappears?
thanks Bruce

You can only apply pan and zoom to individual clips. Why would you want to apply the exact same effect to several at once.
The idea of zoom is surely to zoom into a focal point of the picture - to draw the viewers attention to a particular item.
If you take as few as 10 pictures what are the chances of that focal point being in the exact same postion in all 10. Now consider a slideshow of 100 pictures!
Using wizards for these pan and zoom effects is all well and good to demonstrate the software's capabilities to a new user but it will never replace doing things manually.

Several years ago a friend had this saying (I think it was stolen from Einstein)
"Genius is 5% inspiration 95% perspiration"

If I a apply the same effect to all the slides at once. Actually there will be only 97 or 98. I can (and have) go to each one to modify the effect.
When I run the wizard, I have to do it anyways. The wizard randomizes each one, but you are right, at times it tends to zoom in where it could be embarrassing. Glad I learned that than just finalizing.
Though I guess it does about the same thing whether you can apply it too all clips and modify, or apply the effect one at a time and do the modify as I go along,
It could be the same with effects, to be able to apply to all then modify. Though they could always randomize the effect if you apply to all
