credit roller
Anyone any idea how to do in AE3? This is something I found incredibly easy in AE7. The aspect that’s defeating me is how to control speed? I want the text run at 100 say or 200 – but when I nudge the end keyframe (alt arrow) back or forward in time, it also moves the text back into vision. Driving me nuts – spent hours trying to figure it out.
Thanks,
Ken.

Sorry Dave – I meant CS3, as the new AE is called, not AE3!!
As I remember (I’ve deleted the programme now, curses) In AE7 to adjust speed you could just move a keyframe and you’d get a readout of the speed (in fact you could open the speed graph next to the position info to see this) – this way I could get lovely clean rollers by having speed as a multiple of 25. This is not possible in CS3 as there is no longer a speed readout. Instead you have to toggle to the graph menu – here every time I move a keyframe (no longer simple) I get bezier handles popping up all over the place – and there’s no sped readout. Just the horizontal lines at 50 100 150 etc. You can get the speed after moving the keyframe by placing the mouse over the keyframe after moving – but this makes it real trial and error when you want to get an exact number.
Supposing I wanted a linear sped of 85 between two keyframes – how can this be done without a speed readout (as in AE7). Get my drift… I’ll check out your thread and see if it applies to CS3.
Thanks, all the best,
Ken.

You can select keyframes and right-click (ctrl-click) them to get a contextual menu with a “keyframe velocity” option. Here you can input incoming and outgoing velocity for multiple or single keyframes. This can also be accessed under Animation>Keyframe Velocity.
Have you tried making adjustments there or does this not give you the type of control you are after?
