[Avid-L2] Re: Fluidmotion Edit very iffy with box shape?

Also this isn't just while in the fluidmotion edit interface. When I render the effect the warpys, would it be warpies?, are there in the render.

With that keyframe highlighted if I move the box just a little it pops to losing the warp in the box like it's supposed to. Something seems wrong here. Mac os 10.7.3 MC 6.0.3.2 with a nitris dx. Hmmmmmm not something I've done much of but it feels like a broke and I am in high quality green box mode otherwise none of the fluidmotion edit stuff works, that's another gotcha I hit.

That was a basically okay work around. But that doesn't address why the shape is not sticking when it's there in the beginning and end keyframe with no movement.
