Changing position on one keyframe, changes display position of next keyframe - and so on

Hi There,

 

No idea if this is a bug or a setting but I'm having a frustrating issue where changing the position for one keyframe, also changes the display position of the next keyframe (it doesn't change the position numbers).

 

And if I manually adjust each keyframe, the starting position becomes crazier and crazier until I get to a keyframe that I can't position at all.

 

Does anyone know how to fix?

 

Have tried/checked:

  1. That both temporal and spatial interpolation are set to linear
  2. Deleting all keyframes and starting again
  3. Un-toggling animation for position and starting again
  4. Un-toggling animation for scale and position, then starting again
  5. Restarting premiere
  6. Restarting Premiere, opening a different project, quitting and reopening the current project again

 

I have 28 frames where I need to match a mask that is on source footage I can't alter. The clip (a PSD date) also has an animated mask on it.

 

On the first clip, it took 20sec to adjust each keyframe manually. But on the second change-out (duplicate sequence, replace with clip from bin) it won't play ball.

 

Does anyone know if this is a bug or a setting somewhere?

 

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers, Ben

In the end, I had to completely remove the clip from the timeline, re-add it, remake the scale and position keyframes, re-create the mask and animate it all over again.

 

If anyone knows what this issue is, please let me know. Cheers

This happened to me for one of my clips that had a freeze frame and mask on it.

Here's the workaround that solved it for me: I nested the layer and keyframed the positioning on that.

Good luck!

Premiere sometimes moves in mysterious ways.
