  • add a bounce to the end of to lower third which slides in?

    I am trying to get a more realistic bounce added to a lower third as it slides in, hits the left side, and bounces back into position. Leaving the keyframes linear looks fake. I have tried various combinations with easing keyframes, but it still does not look right. All of my searches come up with using expressions. I am sure there is a simple setting for keyframe interpolation to make a nice bounce at the end of an object sliding into view..

    Thanks. I see how “scrunching” the graphic will help. I did come up with something that I like. It involved linear keyframes. But, I added a wobble as the graphic came to a stop.

    Here is a link to what I came up with. Criticism / improvements would be appreciated. The low quality video seen in the link below shows the flash clipped at the bottom. My shows a smooth gradient all the way to the bottom of the video.

    I think it looks pretty great. The only thing I’d offer is to let it bounce off of the left and “land” onto its intended horizontal position rather than keeping the same Y coordinated throughout. That is, bring it in a little higher, have it bound and land in position.
