No key frames but the position is moving around

Im new to FCP, but understand keyframes.

I have a clip that has no keyframes over its duration, but the position is moving gradually.

I tried to put an identical keyframe at each end with 0 on the Y axis, but it's still drifting between the two key frames.


Any idea what could cause this?

There must be something there in the Transform to make this happen.


Can you post screenshots of the Inspector with the Transform area visible, and also of the timeline with the Video Animation? Select the clip in the timeline, press Control-V to show the Video Animation panel, click on Transform and select “All” from the dropdown menu.

Ive deleted the Project and started again. So far no issue.
Im aware of how to show Video Animation, i looked and there is nothing there. I am finding the whole Key frame thingy a bit fiddly at the moment, can believe i have to work in such a small window, its very hard to click on them etc, but it was definitely clear of markers


You can scale the timeline up to get a larger size when needed. This can be necessary if you want to make small (I was going to write minute, no pun intended) temporal changes to keyframes. Command-plus, Command-minus work very well for this.

Thanks. Yes. I went in as much as I could and definitely nothing there.

I had originally put key frames at the start, middle and end, and I know I deleted them all as I couldn’t see them any more.

Maybe it was just a glitch. I was getting full blown crashes occasionally when inputting numbers in to the X and Y coordinates. Not aways, but quite often.
