Smoother Keyframing

dannyoneill wrote on 9/4/2008, 9:07 AM
Hi, I have a problem at the moment. When keyframing anything be it position, crop, pan, colour correction the move from one keyframe to the other is quite abrupt. i.e a position change will start suddenly and then stop.

Is there any way to smooth it out. Like with a fade in or out you can have it linear and be abrupt or a gradual curve? Thanks.

point keyframe - right click - select smooth

You can also change the keyframe smoothness in the settings pane.

Andrew, What are you referring to "settings pane?" Do you mean the Keyframe interpolation smoothness? I searched for something called a settings pane and could not find such a thing.

One note, the smoothness settings available in the visible pane to the left of the pan/crop window controls smoothness over the location of the keyframe's X and Y (and Z) movements while the right click on the keyframe settings (fast, smooth, slow, etc) deal with the speed of the movement. I've used vegas for year's before I discovered the later settings by accident.... d'oh!

Even if the key is set to smooth the value might be 0 so you won’t get he benefit of that interpolation. 0 smooth is = 0. 100% smooth is smooooooth

I set my key smooth value constant at 100% go to pref edit and set pan and crop smooth to 100 and track motion smooth to 100 so that will be your default smoothness intrepolation

Yes, the pane where you change the settings for the keyframes

I didn't really notice too much of a difference. I was expecting more of a slow in slow out type of response....
