  • zoom slows between keypoints

    Posted by Ross Jardine on April 12, 2012 at 5:03 pm

    Hi all, apologies if this is a stupid problem – I’ve been searching for a solution all afternoon and can’t get my head round it…

    I’m creating quite a long and deep zoom on a still image by adding one keypoint, then another, and using the scale motion inbetween. So far so good. But, what I’m finding is that the zoom is getting increasing slower between the two keypoints – does anyone know how I can get a consistent speed?

    This might be irrelevant but I’ve noticed that the line on the motion line is curved, I’ve activated “ease in/out” and straightened it up with the handle but it doesn’t seem to have much effect.

    Thanks!

    When you create a Scale keyframe, then increase the scale and create another keyframe it should default to a linear move. If you right click on the keyframe you get a pop up box. Choose “Corner” and it will make it so your move no longer eases in our out and is just linear. Hope this helps and best of luck.
