F-Curve [/Keyframe] pause on Align to Spline – How to fix?

[Brian Jones]

I assume your F-Curve is linear, you can’t go from 0 to 100 since 0 and 100 are the same thing – your top value has to be less (the math equivalent of removing the frame in video) you can do the math – last frame value = 100 – 100/number of frames or you can set a keyframe one frame before your current end keyframe (in the 0 -100 sequence) delete the last frame and move the “one before to the last place

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, Linear, but I tried all others. I don’t know if it matters, but it’s 100 to 0, not 0 to 100. I understand they are the same position.

I’m usualy quite good at this, I had already tried dividing the number of frames(149) by 100, then – from 100 to get the last point level(99.328%). But thats where I got stuck.

I don’t understand “delete the last frame and move the “one before to the last place”.

EDIT: The first time I divided frames, because the velocity doesnt show up, and it wasn’t a smooth annimation, I thought it didn’t work. However, I have now realised that the ‘dividing by 100’ method wouldn’t work, as I changed the velocity in the 149 frames. I guess that’s what you meant when you asked if it was linear? I thought you meant the 149th frame point type. I now added the keyframe, and removed the last frame and everything is as smooth as silk.

thanks for help anyway…

RENDER TIME!!

it has to be linear or the f-curve variation affects smooth speed so linear is good.
doesn’t matter if it’s 100 to 0 the math then is value = 0 + 100/149 so first Keyframe = 100 and last keyframe = 0.67
the add/erase a keyframe thing works like this – for example if you have a 30 frame repeat frame 0 to frame 29 where 0 = 0 and 29 = 100, to make the repeat smooth set a new keyframe at frame 28 (don’t change the value just set a keyframe) then erase the keyframe at frame 29 and move the keyframe on frame 28 to frame 29. That gives the same result as working the math out.
