Keyframe + Time= confusion

[Miller Diller]

I hope I didn’t confuse anyone with the question.

Hi there,

I presume you are animating the clouds by adjusting the Position value? If so, there are two possible ways of increasing the speed between the keyframes, either as you’ve done, by dragging the keyframes closer together, or. . . by simply adjust the Position Values so that the clouds have a further distance to travel between the two keyframes. The farther and object has to travel within a fixed time, the faster it will go.

Hope this helps?

cheers,

Angie

An alternative that may end up being too restrictive, but that I often use in scenarios like this one, would be to move your last keyframe to 7 seconds (or wherever you like the speed of the movement) and then apply this expression to the animated property:


loopOut("continue");


This will take the rate of change at the last keyframe and extend it out to the end of time! FAST CLOUDS FOREVER! 🙂

However, that’s the reason that it’s somewhat restrictive, you are relying on the expression to continue the animation, and if you decide that you want the clouds to slow down or stop moving… welp, the expression won’t let you without some hefty and likely arcane changes.

Thank you to all for the tips! Darby Edelen’s tip worked out perfect! I was using Fractal noise for clouds and the offset turbulence value is was where i had the issues. Awesome expression Darby, thank you so much.
