event pan/crop drift

Hi. I am trying to do a pan crop on a few stills where it's a group shot of some kids, and I pan by each one and flash their name name. A closing credits type of thing. After that I want to pull back and show them as a group. The problem I am having with 2 0f the 4 is that when I pull back to the full group shot, the picture drifts a little left and right on the way out. It looks like an unsteady video shot. The other 2 are steady the whole way out, just as I would like them. I have compared the 4 sets, and can come up with no discernable difference, though there must be one. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Any help would be appreciated.

In "Event Pan/Crop", set the "Smoothness (%)" to "0" for all of your keyframes.

Thanks, that cured the problem. Everything's smooth now. It's funny, only those 2 keyframes were set at 100%.

Point of possible interest:
I have noticed that when I zoom and pan close to the edge sometimes the frame will move slightly outside of the media. This is the smoothness trying to change a sharp turn into a round curve, and sometimes the zoom out taking effect before the pan has moved the frame sufficiently away from the edge. I love smoothness, but sometimes it is a little too much.
