    Does anyone know a way to bake keyframes in AE?
    What i want is to automatically generate keyframes between given keyframes.

    Any Ideas?

    If you are looking to smooth out an animation you could try messing around with the “Rove across time” setting under keyframe interpolation. It doesn’t make automatic keyframes, but readjusts your keyframes to fit the kind of animation AE thinks you are trying to do. Just a thought!

    I think I understand what you need. You have keyframes and you want to create the keyframes inbetween these existing keys? For that, you can select the property in question, do an Add Expression (Animation menu), which will create a default expression for the property that simply references the current value(s), then do a Animation>Keyframe Assistant>Convert Expression to Keyframes. The expression, which is now disabled, can be deleted if you want.

    You should be able to do it with an expression, then using Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Convert Expression to Keyframes.

    If all you want to do is convert your existing animation to a keyframe at every frame, you just need to use this expression:

    value

    and then use the method above.

    Maybe the answer for his q is The wiggler or The smoother.

    Yup. Being pathologically afraid of expressions, I’ve used the wiggler, with essentially no wiggle, set to every frame, to get the keyframes..

    Thanks guys,

    that`s the way to do it, add expression and convert with keyframe assistant.

    That helped me very much,
