keyframe motion - blue arc lines

Joni wrote on 4/7/2003, 10:35 AM

I was learning how to make pictures move on screen using keyframes in Track Motion.
It's actually quite easy to use and very effective.
BUT...can I change the shape of the blue arcs that set the motion path??? Normally they are arcs or curves. Can I make them straight lines???

I tried an example with 4 keyframes: starting in one corner of the screen and moving the image (1/10 of the whole screen) around by iserting the other 3 keyframes with the picture on the 3 other corners of the screen. I aspected the picture to move in a straight line across the screen but it actually draws a curve and the image temporarely goes out of the screen. Can I control the path of the motion???

thanks

I agree that this would really be a big asset concerning keying these pan/crop moves...
Maybe adding bezier curves in the program?

Change the smoothness setting to 0% for all keyframes

Indeed, and you can check out the menu that appears when you right-click a keyframe point, too: the hold, linear, fast, slow and smooth options control how Vegas executes movement between keyframes.
