  • Ease-in/out Problems on Image Resizing

    Posted by Dave Gordon on February 18, 2011 at 7:24 pm

    I’m just doing a simple “pan” move using keyframes and resizing. I’ve noticed that it defaulted to an ease-in and ease-out of the keyframe movement. I just need a simple linear move. We have Composer with Nitris working Sony HDCAM (but this particular effect is a JPEG photo). How does one shut off _or change the ease? There use to be an icon that I can’t find: _/

    I do not remember an “ease-in/out” default prior to eh Nitris upgrade.

    Thanks.

    They made a lot of changes to keyframes in recent versions of Media Composer. Not sure when the changes happened because I made a 10 year leap when we finally upgraded, but anyway…

    If you are running MC5 or a version with similar keyframes the easiest way I have found is to just right-click the keyframes. That should bring up a list of options for how to interpret the keyframes. In the cluster where “Spline” is probably checked change it to “Linear.”

    Another option, I love options…

    With the Effects window open, click the graph icon on the lower right. This will show you all your keyframes (and even the ones that extend before and after the clip – something different from previous versions). If you select all (CTRL-A or CMD-A), then right-click you will see the same menu Jeff was talking about.

    You will definitely be needing to find keyframes that are beyond the normal Effect window. If you copy effects from one shot to another and the duration is different, you can suddenly find shots drifting and wonder why? This is why.

    Hope that helps a little more.

    There is no acceleration slider anymore. That was part of classic keyframes, whereas MC5 only allows for Advanced Keyframes.
