How do I “smooth” keyframes
Hi there. I have tracked some footage, and the tracker has picked up all the little bumps and jiggles in the camera. I want to be able to smooth out the animation, reducing the number of keyframes, but still keeping the general movement (in this case a rate of scaling).
I have tried deleting some key frames, where the jiggles happen, but this doesn’t really help too much. I was wondering if there were a simple way of doing it. like a button I am missing.
Thanks for your help

Well, I don’t know if it’s the best thing to do, but you can smooth keyframes by selecting them and pressing F9.
The short cuts for this are:
Easy ease F9
Easy ease in Shift + F9
Easy ease out Ctrl + Shift + F9But im my opinion, you should correct it by tracking it again and stopping every time you have a bad track, then correct the position of the tracker…

Well Peter. you can simply go to “window” and select “the Smoother” it will do exactly what you want. However you may find that the footage will “sit in” better with all the bumps as the contrast between smooth and bumpy footage maybe too much.

Thank you so much for the help, but I must be doing something wrong when I save the file in Illustrator… I have a 5-layer and when I import it as you told me to, I only have one layer…
I’m sure that I choosed “comp” when I imported it.
Is there any diference to save the Illustrator file for workin with After Effects?Thanks once more.

*lol* I was going to suggest this as well. You could also use multiple trackers, each slightly offset from the feature you use and then average their results using expressions or a script.
