Camera movement (rove across time) need some advice
Hi,
I’m animating a camera on a XY axis from a path imported from Illustrator. This path moves “over” an illustration. I need to have the camera slow down (not to an halt though) at a few given moments. Anyone got any advice as to do this as smoothly as possible?
Thanks for any help!

You need to switch off the roving keyframes, then ease the keyframes by R-clicking on the keyframes and selecting Easy Ease, Ease In, or Ease Out. Easing into a keyframe slows the motion as you enter the keyframe, and easing out makes for a gradual increase of speed as you exit out of the keyframe. For more control, you need to display the value curve for the position property, and adjust the shape of the graphs.
This is a very common thing to do in all 2D and 3D animation programs.
This sort of thing should be in the AE Help under “fine-tuning animation”.

Not sure how to answer this without upsetting you: RTFM.
Setting keyframes for camera movement and rotation is exactly the same as setting keyframes for anything in AE. Roving, in this case, is not the approach you would take since you must create pauses. You set a kf at the pause, hold it, and set another kf at the end of the pause to start your movement again. Apply eases as desired.So, if that’s not what you were asking, try us again.

Thanks Steve, got it. What I wanted was to have the camera at constant speed in between the pauses. It just needs some more fine tuning.
And bogiesan, really no need to go “RTFM” on me. I always thought that no question is a stupid question. If you think the question is too trivial, then don’t answer.
And I’m quite sure I will try you again.
