Motion keyframes for text in premiere pro dont work at all

I am fairly new to premiere so if my terminology is off, or less advanced than a more experienced premiere pro user, I apologize

Whenever i try to animate text by editing the position parameter, and sometimes scale and rotation, by placing key frames along the timeline, it seems as if premiere doesnt even notice them. Also whenever toggle animation is on, and I move the text at the time when i want it to move, it doesnt create a key frame, and even when i manually create a key frame, premiere just ignores it. If youre confused just look at the video here (rotation and scale decided to work here): Premiere being buggy - YouTube

Move it by using the Position and Scale entry points ... the blue numbers on the lines for Position and Scale? You can click & scrub the mouse left or right, or type in new numbers.

From a time efficiency perspective this is a terrible answer that doesn't really solve the issue of a glitchy, poor interface that requires work arounds.

DontJudgeDFudge,

I could replicate the issue in an existing sequence, but I could not do so in a new sequence. Can you try a new sequence?

Thanks,
Kevin

Most welcome. Some of these things are so opaque ... until they're shown or explained. It's complicated!
