Picture in Picture objects do not honor the bounds set for them on keyframes. During playback, they shift away somewhat from the set position and scale. Any hope of this bug being fixed?

Hi jonheal -

Are you perhaps using the Ease In/Out options in PiP Designer? If so, applying Ease in/out to both Position & Scale keyframes will help eliminate the problem.

If that's not it, there may be something else you've applied that's causing objects not to "honor the bounds" set for them.

In the attached project (zipped), motion has been set for an object in 3 ways:

straight paths set under Properties tab

curved paths set under Motion tab

Ease in/out applied to Position & Scale keyframes

The motion involves a picture being shifted between frames of different proportions, so "Maintain Aspect Ratio" has been unchecked.

Have a play with it to see if it replicates your issue.

Cheers - Tony
