  FCPX – Transform not working as expected

  Posted by Tony Barone on December 5, 2013 at 2:22 pm

  I have 2 video tracks
  Top video track I created keyframes on Position & Scale going from 100% size, Position X:0 Y:0 at Timeframe 1:00

  Timeframe 3:00 – Scale: 50% X:485 Y:270 Keyframes

  Basically creating a PIP effect of the video shrinking into the corner.

  I want to reverse the effect after another 5 seconds or so, but when I create new keyframes of its current position, everything in between gets completely messed up! The video moves completely off the screen.
  At no point have I created any keyframes other than the ones I listed above.

  Any ideas?

  sounds like you need another set of keyframes of the PIP scale and position, for as long as you want to hold it there. So A position, B position, B position, A position. Does that do the trick?

  Thanks for your reply.

  Your suggestion is exactly the way I have it setup, and I would have expected it to work, but it doesn’t.

  In my setup: Position A – Position B —5 sec— Position B – Position A

  During the —5 sec— part, there is a LOT of motion that was never keyframed in. I have tried several times… deleting all keyframes, starting from scratch, etc.

  Did you try asking this in the FCPX forum?
