Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Keyframed Point Control Inconsistent

  • Keyframed Point Control Inconsistent

    Posted by Dan Mcclelland on November 6, 2020 at 12:34 am

    I added a point control to a text layer and linked the text source to the [0] value of the point control. I then added keyframes with increasing values to the point property. My keyframes consistently increase as you progress along the timeline, but the values will actually decrease at times. A look at the graph editor shows the point value going down then back up between some of the keyframes. What gives?

    Check the spatial interpolation for your keyframes if its linear oder some type of bezier. On a position property you would see the path and can fix the issue with the tangent handles, but here you should change the interpolation mode to linear. This happens quite often when after effects tries to interpolate between to keyframes with the same value

    That did it. Thank you. I forgot about the keyframe interpolation option. Kept looking at the graph which had no bezier handles to fix the problem.
