Whats the deal with the way the grey bar things slide around…..?
OK here is a question I have actually wanted to ask for ages, but have become so used to seeing it in FCP I almost dont notice it anymore:
When You double click on a clip in the timeline, then go into the motion editing tab,
why do the grey bars in all the settings under motion slip and slide around wehn you edit keyframes in them?
Cant work out why.

I’m not sure I understand your question.
If you adjust the value of a key frame in the motion tab, then the slider for that attribute will also move, because they are two representations of the same information.

Can you be more specific? A screen shot?

OK to be more specific:
when you are in the motion tab…
On the left, are attributes stacked on top of each other.
On the right, are the keyframes for each atrribute.The keyframes appear in a light grey region, indicating the length of the clip. The dark area on either side of the light grey region indicates whats in front abd behind the clip in the timeline.
Lets say I am editing keyframes for “Scale” attribute. Alot of the time (not always) when I am editing keyframes and moving them around, the light grey region will slip around left and right, so that it has shifted out of line with all the light grey regions below it, which are for the other attributes i.e. crop, opacity etc.
I was just wondering what the reason for this is?
