  • Automatic wiggle between keyframes?

    Posted by Elias Schulze on April 20, 2010 at 5:49 pm

    Hi, i have a very frustrating problem.

    When i am trying to make a camera fly between different words i keyframe the camera to fly to each word.

    When i make the first keyframe to make the camera fly to the second word everything is good but when i then move forward a little to set another keyframe without moving the camera becouse i want the camera to stop and look at that word at the same position for a couple of frames. But the camera is starting to wiggle up and down and left and right when i havent keyframed that wiggle.

    When i look at the “curve keyframe line” (i dont know what it is called) i can see that cinema 4D is making curves automatic, even if i want it to go straight.

    Excuse my english, im from sweden

    Please help me, this is very annoying.

    The simplest way: Go to the F-curve mode (“curve keyframe line”), select the camera position keyframes. At the top of the timeline, go to Key then select Linear. This should get rid of any wobble between two identical keyframes.

    So another way is to go into F-curve mode, select individual keyframes and adjust the handles until there is only a straight line between the two identical keyframes.

    You can set the the keys to linear interpolation to eliminate the wiggle.

    You can also change the default behavior by clicking the icon at the far lower-right of the time slider and changing the custom properties.
