Ah! You are correct that it was the image itself having something done to it, and perhaps also that the keyframes aren’t razor sharp. After a lot of trial and error I just noticed that the path of the properly-functioning track isn’t a straight line, and it’s supposed to be. Apparently, when I made the middle keyframe, I also adjusted the image’s location a bit and didn’t realize that. This mistake just so happened to produce exactly the effect I was looking for, so I never realized it was caused by an error on my part.

So, I simply opened a calculator, mathed out the position difference between keyframe 1’s location and keyframe 2’s, and then applied the same difference to the movements of my copied track. Problem solved.

I appreciate the suggestions! I’m sure I’ll be back to sponge more knowledge in the future. Take care.

Thanks for the reply, Francois.

So I think I did what you suggested. I inserted a new video track, copied the track that performed properly, and pasted it in the new track. I then went into the original track’s Track Editor, copied its keyframes, and pasted those into the Track Editor of the new track. Next, I right clicked in the new track’s Track Editor window, and used Flip Horizontally and Flip Vertically, assuming this is what you were suggesting. For whatever reason, video didn’t really change at all. I can visibly see that the animation flips once at the start of playback, but it doesn’t move to the other side of the screen at all. It simply rotates in place one time.
