  my problem with cameras…

  Posted by Nico Jones on September 12, 2006 at 3:55 pm

  Hello all,

  I’ve been using after effects for about 3 years now, and after my personal ‘null parenting revelation’ I’m pretty reasonable at controlling cameras. i can make nice moves by animating the orientations, rotations and positions of the camera or the null, but there is a level of smoothness that I am still struggling to attain.

  My problem can be distilled down into the following scenario—

  I have keyframed a camera travell from A to B. Halfway between A and B I want the camera to slow down. not to stop, but slow down, before resuming its journey to B.

  And that’s it. I can get cams to do all sorts of rotations around objects and spins and twirls, but if someone asked me how to do the above, I wouldn’t know how. how absurd is that??

  Any attempt by me to tweak the velocity curves result in anject disaster. I can ease in and out of moves, but this always results in a ‘dead stop’ for the camera.

  I know the chap below asked for camera tutorials, and i read the respponses, but if someone could tell me how to achieve this annoyingly simple thing, i’d be most grateful. I guess it’s a ‘roving keyframe’ thing…
