First transform works fine and the image zooms in straight.
Did the same method for the Second transform and it bounces.
Bug, or did I miss something?
Thanks!

I think I completely misunderstood what you've talking about. The first video shows the zoom bouncing back to the original position at the end. I thought that's what you were talking about.
What's not working in this video? At the very end of the video I see it zoom in to the image. Are you talking about the snake curve? That's been in FCP since 1999. Scale is a logarithmic motion, position is linear. The two have different behaviors and are calculated differently, and they will never match exactly to make a straight motion in FCP. You can use the bezier handles to smooth this out a little but it will always be there the way the two are calculated. To do a smooth motion, without easing, you can animate the crop/crop function. Use the default fit spatial conform.

I think that's it. The coordinates for position differ from the first clip, but that's it and it works correctly in the first clip.
I don't see an extra keyframe. I've keyframed for scale and position. That's it. I've tried removing the whole clip and re-keyframing, same result. And I'm doing the exact same method as the first clip in the video.
In addition to providing the information Tom requested it may be helpful to open the Video animation to confirm exactly where the keyframes are.
To open the Video Animation select the clip in the timeline and press Control-V.
Post screenshots.
It don't understand what's being shown in the viewer. The image doesn't change nor the timecode regardless of whether you're at the beginning or the end. I don't see either first frame/last frame or end of project overlays. Are you setting keyframes on the last frame of the clip or outside the clip? Can't tell from the viewer.
I'd ignore the timecode and the image. Seems to be a bug when I first boot up FCPX. I have to double click the project for it react properly.
I've set the keyframes on the first and last frame. I'll do a capture video when I get a chance.
In the first of the two animations in the original video there is very little position animation. The zoom is almost straight in with some vertical movement. In the second the position animation is much more pronounced both horizontally and vertically.
Hope these screenshots help.
If not I can try doing a screencapture video.
One thing I forgot to do in the screen capture, is put the path on Linear. I just changed it from Smooth to Linear and it had no affect.
Reset the second one. You have an extra key frame st the end.
Great mini-tutorial.
However, that's the method that I used and it gave me the result in the video.
I couldn’t reproduce what you reported. Could you give a step by step of what you’re doing together with specifics of the clip, its spatial conform, and project it’s in?
Ok, maybe this video will make it more clear what I'm doing: Keyframe Path - Screen Capture - YouTube
Yes, the snake curve.
But how come, in the video in my original post, it didn't do the snake movement in the first clip?
