I, for one, would use Chris Colefax's autoclck.mcr and clockmod.inc:

 #declare CLCK = (From (0, 0)  To (.250, 1)  To (.625, 1)  To (1, 0)  ) ;
or whatever. The values are totally negotiable based on whatever clock range
you use.

Extremely useful, and the movement over any range of frames does not have to
be linear (accelerate, decelerate, Bounce, Wave, etc.)
