I want to zoom out a picture

How do I zoom out a picture in picture-picture, when I use the zoom feature, it zooms in the picture then it zooms out. I just want to have my photo start big, then get smaller and smaller as the movie continues. Can I do this?

iMovie (iOS), iOS 7.0.3

You can do this using keyframes. Place the playhead at the start of the p-i-p and set a keyframe for the picture when set to the largest size (and position) you want. Then move the playhead to the end of the p-i-p, shrink it to the smallest size (and position) and set another keyframe. When you play the p-i-p will smoothly shrink (and its centre move).

Below is the most relevant section. It is for changing the location of the p-i-p but the same process works for changing p-i-p size. You can change both and have as many keyfames as you want:
