    I’m not sure how to do this but I have a feeling it has an easy solution…

    Basically I have two keyframes that are moving a solid at a certain speed along the X axis. I want to use that same speed along the rest of the solids duration.

    I swear I knew how to do this awhile ago but I haven’t touched after effects in awhile and forgot.

    Just add this to the Position property:

    loopOut(“continue”)

    Sometimes you just want something to move constantly without keyframing it. Use throw.

    // Throw (move at a constant speed without keyframes)
    veloc = -10; //horizontal velocity (pixels per second)
    x = position[0] + (time – inPoint) *veloc;
    y = position[1];
    [x,y]
