Track Motion does nothing, after a while

Hello All,

I am using v16 Pro build 307.

This control on the left

works initially but at some point stops doing anything. Originally about 10hrs of video was loaded and it was initially working, but now (total video length 35 mins) it has no effect at all. I am just setting a 1.8 deg rotation and then zooming in a little to remove the black corners which result from the rotation

I think it must be a bug. Is there some other way to apply the same 1.8 degrees to everything on that track?

Many thanks.

I simply don't understand you. As I said I don't do this professionally. Obviously you do. It's like going on a photography course - everybody else there is a wedding photographer and I am the muppet :)

I could not see where you saw the 5%.

Anyway, the copy and selective paste of pan/crop did the trick. Why the normal method, working since v11 or so, doesn't work, I have no idea.

I even did a fresh veg file when I started this project, instead of taking an existing one and cleaning it out, which would have saved me a lot of time.

Funnily enough, this "mystery keyframes" thing came up before 2 years ago:

I have just done another project and again have problems with track motion breaking somewhere along the way.

However if I apply track motion only on the finished edited project, that solves the problem. For me, this works because the track motion is just a 1.8 to 2.0 degree rotation, followed by a little bit of zoom to take out the black corners resulting from the rotation, to compensate for the camera being mounted not quite vertically.

Interestingly, FX do not suffer from this issue. An FX applied to a track just works on the whole track. This is a dumb Q but is there an FX (in v16) which does rotation and zoom?
