    I am creating a simple move with a camera and some text. At first there is a quick move of 5 frames to center the text and then over the course of the next second the camera backs up slowly only a few pixels to give some life to the screen. What keeps happening is on the 2nd more subtle move the camera seems to go passed the position about halfway thru (15 frames) and then pulls back in the complete the move. So instead of a slow pulling back motion I get a pull back motion for 15 frames and then a pull in for the last 15 frames.

    I’ve reset keyframes checked and re-checked and even created a new camera. But for some reason I cannot get this thing to do a slight pull back w/o it pulling in on at the end.

    Any advice would be great!

    Thank you, CB

    Check your keyframe interpolation.

    A work around is creating 2 nulls and attaching them to the camera, then animate the moves separately. (Move 1 Null, Move 2 Null, etc)
