Error: PNG's postion adjusts, even when the keyframes have the same value.

I am matching a .png's Position and Scale to a scrolling .mp4. There is a point in the .mp4 , when the scrolling pauses. I want to hold the .png's Position and Scale for those frames. However, when I copy paste, or even manually enter the exact same values for the Scale and Position at the beginning and end of the frames I want it to 'hold', the image appears to bounce. Please refer to my link on YouTube.

I've deleted the .png and brought it back in, but the same thing happens. How come the .png's Position and Scale aren't holding still and 'hopping' here? Does anyone know how I can cure this?

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Christopher

    Thank you so much guys! I tried both your ideas. The Toggle Hold Keyframe was the best solution for this instance. Awesome! Thank you!

    Select the keyframes right click select keyframes interpolation and make it linear

    -- OR --

    Right-click on the incoming keyframe -- the one where the pause should begin.  Select Toggle Hold Keyframe.

    Now the layer will remain rock-solid until AE encounters the next keyframe and it will resume moving.

    Not enough people understand the usefulness of Hold Keyframes.  They've saved my cookies any number of times.

    In the clip there's a layer with an MP4 selected. Where's the PNG? The one above, where the position values change when moving the slider?
