Movement without keyframe!

Going crazy and wasting time...

There seems to be a phantom keyframe that I can't get rid of. I'm doing something very simple, just trying to zoom in on a video clip. If you look at my attached images, Frame 1 is the zoomed out. Frame 2, which is one frame later, is the zoomed in - where I WANT the zoom to be.... but if I move to the very next frame, you can see there is no key anywhere the video is zoomed in even further and in a different position! I have deleted all the key frames and started over, I have restarted premier, and no matter what I do this is happening EVERY TIME! It also happens if I put in new keyframes at a totally different position. I'm totally baffled and frustrated with all the time I have wasted to do this very simple thing.

So I was able to fix it, but it is REALLY WEIRD how that happened: I discovered that the keys were located BETWEEN the individual frames! Not sure this should even be possible, but when I moved frame by frame I suddenly noticed that the keys were not located exactly on the frame start position. When I dragged them to the correct spot, the problem went away.

But this begs another question... how did they end up in this odd location???

Thank you, they are. In fact I even tried changing them to something else and changing them back again and it still happened. Here is my full screen, if that helps:
