I suppose that could work, if it would accept the frame number as a 
variable, so that the x,y,w,h could change over time, and allow the 
padding color to be transparent.

So, I still see no filters to start small, without disturbing the rest 
of the frame, and have it grow over time to full size, replacing the 
video on the lower layer.
You have confirmed zoompan won't shrink less than 1.0 in size factor.
For example zoom value of 0.1 should enlarge the input stream x10 and 
with x and y I could select where in the stream[0] to place the 
(growing/shrinking) stream[1].

Sorry, I'll re-word it;
when the "enable='between(t,#,#)'" begins
I was experiencing something more than just 0 to 2 frames offset. I'll 
work up another example once I have a moment to re-create it.
