Letting someone else edit my videos is definitely an enlightening experience—there are some things I notice another editor does that I love, and other things where I realize my communication through notes and the way I recorded something is lacking :D
This issue is just so I can try to formalize some parts of my video / editing style so it can be consistent video to video, no matter who edits them.
For starters:
When using images, I typically use a ken burns effect, but I typically only zoom in or out by a tiny amount (often just enough to be noticed, but not enough that someone would notice. The default amount added by Final Cut Pro is way too much IMO, unless doing a photo montage with 8-10 seconds per photo.
When using Ken Burns effects back-to-back, I always make sure to alternate the zoom in / zoom out (so the first one would push in on an image, then next one would pull out...).
I'll continue to add to this list when I notice other little style guide notes I should make more explicit.
