shot jumping without transform keyframes

Hi all, I did a little stop motion video for my band's upcoming song release, and somehow I made the shot move in the y direction, but I'm not sure what I did. I definitely haven't added any keyframes.

Here's an export of the spot in question. Any ideas what I've done?

I've even gone as far as dragging in a new (different) clip from the broswer over this one and the issue persists. So it's not something in the clip. It's in a specific spot in the timeline.

help? lol

Some titles affect the clips underneath. That is how adjustment layers work. The title in Motion includes a "Title Background" item that in FCP means whatever is under it in the timeline. Whem apply a transform to such a title, it will act also on the clip below.

You probably selected a different title the second time around, or you added the title and did not apply a Transform to it.

Examples: "Basic Title" does NOT have "title background", but a very similar title called "Text" does have it.
