Strange scene jump in exploding animation

I have an animation that explodes a model I am working on.  At the very last step there is a small but annoying scene jump.  It happens at a specific time in my timeline (between 1:08:55 and 1:08:70).  This jump in camera angle seems to be in the timeline itself, but there is no marker for it (nothing I can delete).  It is not associated with the actions around it, I have deleted and re-added the actions but the scene still jumps.  I have tried changing the camera position over top of where the jump happens but it just seems to move to one side or the other of the new camera position recording location.  Since it is at the very end, I have tried copy/pasting the whole animation to a new Storyboard and the jump follows the copy.  I reversed it in the new Storyboard and tried dragging everything to time 0 but the jump remains.  I would just redo the whole thing, but I have spent several hours building it.  I am wondering if I can PM it to someone that can figure out what is happening?  It isn't something I want to share publicly at the moment.

After spending way too much time on this, I managed to stumble onto something that got rid of whatever was stuck in the timeline.  In case it helps someone in the future...

 

I deleted the last couple steps before the glitch to give myself enough room to insert a new camera angle.  I randomly changed the camera to insert that change just before the glitch.  I then right clicked on the newly inserted camera change and selected "Select All After".  I then hit the delete key.   Immediately the green in the timeline that normally shows where you have steps shortened.  Mine was out past the end of my animation (very likely some bug).  Anyway, whatever was in the timeline I managed to delete it and fixed the issue.

 

Thanks me for all my help.   Smiley Wink
