In FCP? You don’t really. There is an EASE in and EASE out option, but I have never gotten it to look good. So I just use After Effects or Motion for those needs.

Right-click on the keyframe and select Ease In/Ease Out (if it’s the Center keyframe in the Canvas) or other keyframes right-click on it an select Smooth.
As Shane said, some of them used together like scale and canter have always produced funky results, but for some things it’s good.
All the best,

The whole keyframe editor in FCP is not great. No copying or pasting key frames. No global moves etc. It hasn;t changed since its’ inception and likely won’t. Ever since motion they seemed to have forgotton about any future developement of the keyframe editor.

Bones, look it up in the manual. It’s completely different from AE and it’s stupid. ONe of the many things about FCP that we’ve been screaming about since v1 or 2. Just a lame and dul paradigm.
The timeline has keyframes for the center parameter but you cannot edit them like you can scale or rotation. You must set the CTI on the k.f. and then right-click the thing itself in the Canvas, not in the timeline. Selecting ease will give you TWO indecipherably stupid dots, one for timing ease and one for the curve ease and, if the distance the layer is traveling is short, the eases will shoot out in some completely unexpected direction, making you wish you hadn’t even tried. FCP’s code monkeys really earned their coconuts on designing this completely useless feature.
