Move the image in the Canvas to the ending position.

You don’t need to add a keyframe this time because, once a single keyframe has been
added to a parameter, new keyframes are automatically added each time you move the
clip to a new position.

You should see a line in the Canvas indicating the interpolated motion path between
the starting and ending keyframes.

To see the effect, remove the wireframe in the Canvas by choosing Image from the View
pop-up menu, move the playhead to the beginning of the clip, then play the sequence.

While you may see only a rough approximation of the final motion effect, you can still
see it without rendering. To see the effect at higher resolution, render it and then play
the sequence.

Tip: If the image looks “blocky” after rendering, choose High from the RT pop-up menu
in the Timeline and render the clip again.

To create a more realistic camera move, you may also want to smooth the motion at
the beginning and the end of the motion path, so that the camera starts slowly,
reaches full speed, and then slows down as it reaches the second keyframe.
