Body: <p>I need to smoothly zoom &quot;through&quot; a person's eye to another scene behind it. The closest I've come is a linear function zoom in Kdenlive that appears to slow to a crawl the closer you get. I'm guessing I need an exponential function to give the appearance of a constant speed. Ideally you could define or edit a curve controlling the speed at any point. I'd consider getting Premiere Elements if it can do this, but I'd prefer something free.</p>

  I need to smoothly zoom "through" a person's eye to another scene behind it. The closest I've come is a linear function zoom in Kdenlive that appears to slow to a crawl the closer you get. I'm guessing I need an exponential function to give the appearance of a constant speed. Ideally you could define or edit a curve controlling the speed at any point.
