    I can’t figure this out. I’m trying to do a very simple move. I have a box of video over a
    moving background w/some text etc. All I’m trying to do is zip the video from off screen to a specific point…..then it slowly crawls across the screen to a point in time when I zip the video box off the screen. I’ve got two position keyframes at the beginning of the clip and two at the end. Weird thing is, about half way through the “crawl” portion of the move, the video starts going the wrong direction….then heads back in the righ diretion. What am I doing wrong?

    thanks Dave I’ll try it.

    Alternatively, check your the keyframes-interpolation (control-click on keyframe). If their spatial interpolation is set to anything else than lineair, AE will try to make the motion-path more “round”. This sometimes causes motionpaths that you don’t want.
