  Exponential Scale Problem- (should be easy…)

  Posted by Pete Scalzitti on February 28, 2012 at 8:24 am

  Hi Guys!

  The answer to this must be basic.

  I’m scaling out from a large graphic. Halfway through, the zooming out needs to speed up- i can’t get this to work without the change in speed being very abrupt.

  There’s three keyframes. The first keyframe eases out from a scale of 10%. The second keyframe is where the change happens- i thought exponential scaling from the second to the third keyframes would help, but it doesn’t appear to-

  Anyone know how to acheive a smooth transition in this situation??

  Thanks in advance for the help!! THe deadline is VERY SOON

  You probably need to change your middle keyframe to an “easy ease out” keyframe. Select that keyframe and press “shift + cntl + F9”.

  That will add a gradual speed change to your keyframe. You can open up the graph editor to adjust the speed change by adjusting the handles.
