Keyframe Mutation?
Is there any specific reason that keyframes tend to change their spatial interpolation on their own. For example, working with keyframes I thought were linear suddenly become auto or continuous bezier. Obviously it must be something I’m doing to cause this…just not sure what that could be….and is there any preference setting to make them lock to linear and stay that way? Any insight would be most helpful.
Thanks -

Ctrl-Click keyframe, is the shortcut to switch between Linear and Auto Bezier.
F9(and in combos with Shift and Ctrl) adds Ease in various forms.
Sticky keys? Split brain (left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing thing) problem? Your Right-Bezier Creative Brain hitting keys unbeknownst to your Left-Linear Keyframe Brain.
Electrons on Spring Bread.
Digital Anarchy.
The permutations are too numerous to detail.
If you’re not hitting some of those keys, sounds strange, really.

keyframes don’t change their interpolation by themselves so you must be modifying them somehow. In PREFERENCES > GENERAL there is a DEFAULT SPATIAL INTERPOLATION TO LINEAR setting. You can also change the interpolation of the keyframes at any time COMMAND (MAC) or CONTROL (PC) clicking on them.

well the frustrating part is that the keyframe looks linear…it’s only when I render or do a RAM preview that I can see that the motion is suddenly not….then I go to keyframe interoplation and I see that the spatial interpolation has changed somewhere along the line to Auto bezier or continuous bezier. I will try setting my prefs though…thank you!

A keyframe that ‘looks’ linear, has linear interpolation in the time domain.
It’s perfectly possible to have linear time-based interpolation along a bezier or auto-bezier position-path.
That’s what you’re seeing.And it’s the position-aspect that’s ruled by the preference, not the timing.
