  Identical rotations not acting the same

  Posted by Jason Twite on June 22, 2009 at 6:40 pm

  Having a little issue working with the rotation parameter under the Transform tab.

  I have the front and back wheel of a forklift each key framed to rotate from zero to -850 degrees across 5 seconds. The back wheel looks to ease in/ease out of the action while the front is a hard start and stop. I’ve gone over every parameter several times and cannot find any differences in the two. I know there’s a “Spin” behavior, but was unable to get equal and desired results.

  Is there an Ease In/Ease Out function I’m looking past here or another parameter problem causing this issue? It’s a simple rotate of two different layers from photoshop, not 3D, nothing crazy.

  Thanks

  Select your clips with the Rotation. Hit the Command a 8 keys to open up the keyframe editor. Select the keyframes and then right click on one. Choose Bezier. Hope this helps.

  I absolutely knew it was going to be something easy/stupid like that! Back tire was set to bezier, front was linear.

  thanks!
