  • Rotation on a Path – need it to go faster at the beginning

    Posted by Timi Boose on April 18, 2013 at 6:22 am

    Hi there,
    I am creating an animation where a kid tosses a cellphone and it lands on the floor. i want it to rotate after he tosses it. I have made a curved path and set the rotation for 4 times but what it does is slowly rotate down the whole path 1 time and then when it hits the floor, it does the other 4 rotations really fast. I want it to spin faster at the beginning – how do i do it…. I’ve watched some tutorials on the graph editor and feel like that is what i should be messing with but so far i am just feeling around in the dark. Any tips?

    Hi –

    – my guess is that the the graph editor isnt good enough /easy enough to use, to do what you want without a LOT of grief.

    IMO this function lets this amazing app down a lot – those that have used a good system will know what I mean……

    However there are a load of great plugins for AE and I’m wondering if you have seen ‘ease and wizz’ which I think might help — not entirely sure but am just about to try it myself today for a similar issue.

    I just saw Ease and Wizz for the first time while i was searching through tutorials last night and am thinking of buying it. I am usually a cheapskate but if it makes this stuff easier and look good for $10, then maybe I should just get it. Thanks
