  Keyframe nightmares

  AE CS4 (yes, it’s old, So am I!)

  Been working on a satirical piece about Lincoln’s versus SUV’s and am losing what hair I have left over attempting to smooth out the bumps in the road. I am driving with a hand held Canon Rebel digital camera (fortunately there were no cops coming my way). I then smoothed it as best I could with the tracker. Still trying to understand how best to position those boxes.

  The hardest part for me has been trying to smooth out a clip-art SUV in front of the Lincoln. Trying to keyframe that thing has been the nightmare. The clip is less than ten seconds. Tried using the keyframes from the video without much luck. Then I deleted them and added keyframes one–at–a–time every ten frames, adjusting position and scale. Attached a short video along with a screen shot that, hopefully, tells the story.

  All thoughts greatly appreciated.

  Don’t know how to add the video…
