I apologize because I guess I’m not understanding you. From 1:03 until 1:11 in the video I posted I am clearly moving the bezier handles of the offending keyframe, so I’m not sure why you’re telling me to zoom in so I can “get a good grab” on the handles. I’m clearly not having any issues in the video with “getting a good grab” on the handles, so what would I gain by zooming in?

Further, after I grabbed and moved the bezier handles, the only thing that changed about the unwanted movement was the angle of the movement as shown at 1:12.

I should also mentioned that I did try grabbing the handles and moving them until they they were essentially over the keyframe (which basically makes it linear movement and defeats the entire purpose), and the unwanted movement was still there and was basically unchanged.

So I have no problem grabbing handles and manipulating those handles doesn’t really change the unwanted movement at all, so what am I missing?

Dave,

Thanks for your response. It is greatly appreciated.

Regarding #2, it’s actually not “easy” because as shown in the video I tried to manipulate the bezier handles and it did nothing to remove that unwanted motion. So that solution doesn’t work.

Regarding #1, I have used that workaround before, but it is a workaround. If there are two consecutive, identical keyframes without “continuous” bezier set, then there should be NO movement . I was just hoping to find out that there was actually something I was doing wrong that was causing the unwanted motion. Workarounds are fine, but I’ve been doing workarounds for awhile and I was just at a point where I figured I should get a REAL solution. It looks like I’m going to have to stick with workarounds.

Thanks again.

John

Thanks everyone for your help. I’ve tried some of the various solutions and I’m not quite getting the “set it and forget it” kind of a workflow I wanted, so I think I will just put a copy of the background image over the original footage and mask it all so I only see the talking head.

Thanks again! I really appreciate it!

Yes. They are all vector. In the video you can actually see me briefly hover over the megaphone graphic and you can see the vector paths show up.
