    I am in Cinema 10.1
    I am trying to adjust the motion of an animated camera and want quick and easy control over the time curves. My problem is that currently adjusting the tangents on the curves will also effect the position and rotation of my camera. I dont want to change that AT ALL. I just want it to slow down a little on its way to the target. More like it works in After Effects. Right now I have do adjust X, Y, Z and the H, P, B curves.. thats 6 curves all to adjust a single keyframe! I am clearly doing this wrong.. can some one shine the light on the right way to do this?

    What you want to do is assign a time track to your camera and adjust the time track’s curve rather than the camera’s PSR curves.

    The Time Track seemingly has no relationship to the speed of motion for either the camera or objects. Is there some kind of additional linking required to get objects to respond to the time track?

    The way it works is a bit counterintuitive:

    * First create the time track;
    * Then, in the timeline, select the tracks you want to be influenced;
    * note the blank “Time Track” box in the attributes manager;
    * drag the time track you previously created into that box.
