Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Animation changes itself

  • Animation changes itself

    Posted by Bartek Pawlik on November 17, 2015 at 11:27 pm

    HI,

    AE CS3, simple animation where I just animate position and size.
    The whole one takes some 2 minutes and there are about 40 keyframes in it.
    Now the magic happens…
    In some point of my work (everytime in some different point) when I got back on timeline it turns out that keyframes don’t remember its value, so “animation” changes itself.
    Allready tried reloading footage, start over from the beginning, every time the same effect. It’s like some “smurfs” changes position of footage (size is kept).

    Has anyone idea whot is going on?

    In 2 days I’ve got a deadline for this work…

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Will test, but this is not Boomerang effect…
    Object (comp 1920×1080) changes its position of few hundred pixels…

    Anyway, thanks for tips

    No Baizer interpolation… ONLY linear

    The problem is that it’s REALY simple project.
    One main comp with another comp (that one I animate) and ONE swf file inside. Also some sound layer and two solids. Nothing more…
    Will let you know results, so far it is ok… but still don’t know the reason.

    Can you post a screenshot of your timeline?

    I have had odd behavior occur sometimes because I had two adjacent keyframes and did not realize it. They would be only a frame apart. So unless I zoomed way in, I would only observe one keyframe.

    System:
    Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
    Win 7 64-bit
    32GB RAM
    Adobe CC 2014 (as of 7/2015)
    256GB SSD system drive
    4 internal media drives RAID 5
    Typically cutting short form from HD MP4 and P2 MXF.

    Thanks all of you for tips.
    Still didn’t find the reason of this strange behaviour.
    I solved the problem creating everything in new file, this was less time consuming than figuring out this problem.

    Thanks a lot for all posts!

    PS. Jon, this was not what you sugested.
