Question

My Animations with Motion and Scale are NOT Working Properly

After a day of editing, and returning the next morning, my Animation keyframes are slowly drifting into the next Keyframe, instead of jumping in a fast movement like I need them to. I even have footage where I have the correct working Keyframes, and if I simply redo them, they no longer work, and instead do that slow drift towards the next keyframe. I’m losing my mind. It’s NOT the Bezier. If you know what’s going on,  please help me. Thanks.

    Post screenshot of the Effect Controls with keyframes showing and Program monitor showing the path.

    Position and scale in Motion not always go together well.

    Might want to use the Transform effect instead.

    I’m not sure. Before, I’d just make a few keyframes when I needed an object like a JPEG or PNG to go where I needed it to go. I could just drag the timeline, and add a new Keyframe, and it would go exactly where I needed it, when I told it to go there. All of a sudden, it’s now IMMEDIATELY heading to its final destination, very slowly. I’ve tried adjusting the Bezier. Making it Linear. Easing In. Easing Out. Nothing works. I’ve reverted to an old version of Premiere. I’ve tried using the Beta Version. They do the same thing. The only thing I can think of is that some sort of preference has been changed, either automatically, or by accident on my part. But the only workaround is to add a keyframe on literally EVERY SINGLE FRAME, otherwise, it slowly drifts towards the next destination. I’m trying to be as descriptive as possible, but that’s difficult with this issue.
