Welcome to animation ;) Your question is a good one that has no definitive answer. That's one of those problems that cannot be eliminated, only minimized. As Martin Hash, creator of Animation Master, once said, 'The fewer key frames an animation has the more elegant it is'. The significance of that statement becomes apparent when one stumbles into a problem like this. For example, you might have 10 keys for a camera parameter but after a little observation you might realize, "Hey. I don't need 10 keys. 3 will do the job just fine." Having to "manually edit every single key frame" shouldn't be a big deal because there shouldn't be any more key frames than absolutely necessary to begin with. Putting that little snippet from Martin Hash to work has saved me a lotta time, but, let's face it, this hobby is still a time sink no matter what you do ;)
