Scripting (or existing plugin): Auto-animate camera to show the image row by row

Hey, I'm an artist, and I like to show the detail in my paintings. Currently, manually keyframing this takes a long time. Here's the breakdown:

 

1. automate After Effects to evaluate image - Zoom out until full X&Y dimensions of a piece show (You can see the entire image - 9,000x12,000 pixels is not uncommon).

2. Zoom in to 100% of image size - composition output is 720p or 1080p.

3. Pan to top left corner of image (X=0, Y=0 defined as top left)

4. Pan to the right until X is maxed out.

5. Pause for a few frames.

6. Scroll down to where the bottom of the 1st pan across is now above the current comp area. ( Y = Y- Comp height )

7. Pause for a few frames.

8. Pan left until X=0

9. Pause for a few frames.

and repeat this scanning from side to side until the bottom of the image.

10. Gently zoom out until image is fully on screen.

 

I checked every page of Video Hive and Ae Scripts and couldn't find something that already does this.

 

Here is an example (FB video) of the final piece (done manually) - https://www.facebook.com/ori.bengal/videos/10153061773317426/?hc_location=ufi
