Attention:
I do not recommend to make the Ken-Burns animations by keyframing in Lightroom/LRTimelapse. The reason is, that Lightroom will always only crop to full pixels - this might lead to jitter in the resulting animation. I recommend to export in 3K and 4K and make the Ken Burns animation in the video editor then.

Update: those old methods are not recommended anymore!
Method 1 with LRTimelapse 3 there is an easy way to do this:
When you finished your editing of your 5 normal 1* keyframes, set one 5* keyframe to the first image, and one 5* keyframe to the last.
Then go on the Holy Grail Workflow tab, click on "Auto Transition Special" and choose "Crop". Calculate the transition, this will then make a linear transition only for the crop.
Method 2
Just leave the crop animation as the very last step. Do the whole workflow, edit all keyframes. After finishing the 2nd workflow row, go back to Lightroom and edit crop of the first and last image.
Save metadata for that both.
Reload in LRTimelapse, DON'T apply the auto-transition. Instead right click on the header of one of the crop columns in the table, select "Select Column (only this)". This will set checkmarks only to the crop columns. Now click on "Individual Transitions" on the Tools-Tab, and then on "Curve" or "Linear" depending on how the crop animation should be calculated. Curve will ease the movement in and out so it looks nicer. You will now get a message dialog telling you that some keyframes will be modified. This regards to the cropvalues of the keyframes - they must be changed. So confirm this dialog and you are done.
Select the whole table (Ctrl-A) to see an overlay of all crops in your preview.
Save and reload metadata in Lightroom, then export your video.
With this method you can individually animate every single parameter if you want.
Happy time lapsing
