  Easein/out keyframe motion – center positioning controls -help needed!

  Posted by Steve Teak on February 7, 2006 at 10:46 am

  Hi, I am learning FCP coming from Premier Pro so this be a basic question to many!
  When trying to make a still jpeg in a project pan say from left to right. I can get this to work fine but the movement is sudden (linear). I understand I have to opt click on keyframes and select smooth or ease in/ease out.
  In the motion tab these centre keyframes are black so I can’t opt click and select ‘smooth’ like I can with other parameters like scale etc.
  So when in clip video window or veiwer with wireframe & clip set to view motion path I opt click one of the keyframes (start or end) and select ease in/ease out. This extends out a bezier handle out to side, now after not touching this I then playback clip and my motion pan path is messed up. Image moves left to right to left again, and as far as I can see I haven’t moved the motion path- just added ease in/ease out function. I use this function in Premier Pro all the time and it works simply!?
  Am I missing something major here? I been over the manual again and again.

  Hi above post was meant for the FCP Calf forum as it’s pretty basic operating question. But if willing to give advice go-ahead!

  Cheers
