  • what makes it move?

    im working on a 3D comp using 5 pictures and a camera. everything is cool and ive been working on moving the camera. i will move from one picture to the next and fill the “frame”….zoom in a little…then move over to the next pic for the same motion. the problem im having is that there is movement happening to the picture in the frame, but there is no keyframe telling it to move. once ive filled the frame with my picture, all i tell it to do is zoom in a bit, but the camera ends up moving a bit left, then right, etc., and i have no keyframes telling it to do that. its as though there is some momentum carrying the camera around. i have had this problem with text as well. fly it in from the left, slow down at the center of the screen while still moving to the right, then fly it out to the right side of the screen. so the text would constantly be moving to the right. with the same motion, the text will come in from the left fine, it will slowly move right, like it should, but then move back to the left a bit, then carry on back to the right again…why is it moving like that..like i said there are no keyframes telling it to move to the left…sorry this is so long, i wanted to make sure i explained it enough.

    i know this may sound confusing but if anyone has some advice, i would really appreciate it.

    that made a difference, so thank you for the advice, but im still getting some extra motion. im assuming the problem is with the keyframes so i shall continue to tinker. thanks for your help…Happy-almost-Halloween!
