Pretty simple.

Look up "Keyframes" in the Help Manual.

Open the clip in the viewer, then click on the motion panel.

All you're going to do is to put a keyframe in the "scale" section at  
the place in the motion timeline where you want to the zoom to begin,  
and another where you want it to end.

When you've done that, adjust the "scale" amount to suit at each  
keyframe.

You can also add keyframes to deal with position changes that may be  
warranted by a need to change the composition when you've zoomed in.

Once you get the hang of keyframes, you'll find uses for them in all  
sorts of things.
