Point of Interest & Position Problem
I’m creating what should be a very simple animation where the camera moves from one video to the next one in 3D space.
All of the other camera movements that I made work fine, but on the last movement, I just want the camera position to HOLD on one video, then slide over horizontally to the final video.
First I copy the keyframes that I want held (Point of Interest and Position), but when I paste them, I get weird ROTATION movement of the camera although the rotation properties do not change numercally! That’s baffling me.
If I only copy the point of intetest keyframe in the next position, the video holds. But I need the camera to MOVE to the next video.
Next, when I simply move the camera over to the right, to the last video, the Point of Interest moves WITH the Position keyframe, causing a wonky movement that I can’t control nor figure out.
This should be simple, just moving the camera in 3D space from
VIDEO LEFT ===> to VIDEO RIGHT
What am I doing wrong??!

You want the camera to HOLD. How about using a HOLD Keyframe?

Perfect. The “In some cases, the Auto Bezier spatial interpolation for Position keyframes can cause undesired back-and-forth (boomerang) motion between two keyframes with equal values. In such a case, you can change the earlier keyframe to use Hold interpolation or change both keyframes to use Linear interpolation.” explanation solved it.
Thank you both!
