VS 2023 Pan and Zoom forgets the the first key frame

[cybernick]

I have a very frustrating problem.

I have edited a video of 40 mins with some custom pan zoom in specific points. The pan zoom is in BMP pics with at least 4 keyframes.
It seems that it forgets the first keyframe while I render or play in preview pane. But what I enter to customize pan zoom it comes back to normal.
After I fixed the second pan zoom in a picture I realized that the first picture which I had fixed creates the same problem again.

It is very very very frustrating. VS becomes unreliable every passing version.

Does it also do this is you instead use customise motion?

[cybernick]

yes
I found a solution by eliminating some pan zoom scenes. It seems that there is a limitation.

Are you able to create a short project containing BMP images, apply pan and zoom till you see the problem.
Share that VSP with us, zip and attach to your post.
If there is a limitation, what do you mean, the number of keyframes or the number of BMP used?

If we can replicate I will pass on the details to Corel Support, you should also do the same, but they will probably ask for a sample VSP.

I have replicated the problem, it appears that the first and last key frame take on the same position / settings
I cannot have a different setting for the start and finish.

You should report this to Corel Support even though I have just brought this post to the attention of VS development team

As a workround using FX Video Pan and Zoom seems to work ok, I have not tried Customise Motion but should be a good option to use.

Post Updated
I missed an important point that the P&Z was set to Static, this sets the first and last frame to be the same.
However I was able to set/add other Keyframes by double clicking the keyframe timeline and that should not be possible whilst in Static

Sorry for any confusion

Ok I user 4 keyframes in very special purpose.
You may see the bellow video for example. It is in Turkish but you will see what was my target.

Hi
I have created a pan and zoom effect saved as a smart package attached
I found Pan&Zoom a little awkward to use, for this I used Video P&Z, although I preferred the Customise Motion option as it contained a digital clock so could accurately set keyframe positions.
The effect pans between each face and pauses, so additional keyframes are needed to set the pause.
Note a right click on any keyframe gives Copy and Paste options, quite useful.
Hope this helps

I did the youtube video I shared. So I know the flow. But thanks anyway.
My initial cut had more such scenes but I needed to exclude due to the bug.

I could not replicate any missing keyframes, but did report an issue using the Static options
