  • Adobe Premiere Pro keyframe position & scales problem

    Posted by Merlin Merton on December 18, 2012 at 3:52 pm

    I’m working on a project for a client who asked that I place a photograph that moves slowly across the screen. I’ve put keyframes either end of the photographs ‘effects’ timeline. However, when I play it back for some reason, the photograph begins and ends in the correct places, but it won’t simply follow the route but goes back on itself in the middle…like a bouncing ball, instead of moving in a direct way.

    It’s hard to explain, but basically instead of moving slowly from right to left in one motion, it moves right-left-right (a little)-left (to the end)!

    Is there some function I need to unclick or something perhaps??

    Many thanks for any help, but this is very frustrating!

    Are you sure there are only two keyframes there?

    Try changing the keyframes to “Linear” and see if you get the same result.

    There are four. First is at the beginning, second is five frames in, third is five frames from the end, and the final one is at the end.

    I wanted to make the photograph move in from outside the frame quickly, then move slowly for a few seconds, before disappearing out of frame again at the end. I’ve done it before a while ago, but it doesn’t seem to work anymore on CS5! For some odd reason, it does a side-ways bounce in the middle which ruins the simpler effect I was going for in the first place.

    Do you know how I might solve this??

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey thanks for this…where on the CS5 version do you change keyframes to linear??

    Right click on the key frame and a dropdown menu should come out.
