[brianfuchs] “Using the Pan/Crop method, my video doesn’t really bounce off the walls sharply like a ball would. Instead, it moves in a pronounced parabolic action. Is there a way to make the bounce be very sharp using Pan/Crop?”
Try changing the “Smoothness” setting on each keyframe to zero.
Generally speaking, Pan/Crop is designed to CROP and PAN the events while Track Motion is designed to resize and position the events. However, Track Motion affects the entire track where Pan/Crop is applied on an event-by-event basis. Both have their uses and, as you’ve seen, the functionality overlaps.
