  Weird Graph in editor

  Posted by Tyler Mcneill on December 8, 2020 at 1:05 pm

  Hi there,

  I am working in a project set up by a colleague and I find these weird graphs in his tracking data. They never look like that when I am tracking stuff in mocha AE. The motion is there but each frame seem to have 2 keyframes.

  I bet it’s just some setting I don’t know about.

  Thanks in advance!

  There are two types of graphs in the Ae graph editor. You’re probably used to the value graph, which shows the value of the property on the Y axis against time on the X axis. This is called the speed graph, and it shows the rate of change of the value of the property on the Y axis against time on the X axis.

  Value graph shows you how the value itself is changing over time; the speed graph shows you how its speed is changing over time.

  Here’s the official documentation:

  And here’s a very nice explanation from School of Motion:
