  • Linear keyframe bug, changing position still eases out and eases in…

    Posted by Joshua Pearson on January 2, 2013 at 10:00 pm

    I have not touched FCPX in a while (I work in a big FCP7 facility, haven’t crossed over yet), but have been using it recently with my son at home… I notice the annoying “feature” of the linear keyframe is still with us, namely that when changing a clip’s position, the motion of that clip by default accelerates and decelrates, eases in and out, when I don’t want it to… and now it seems the workaround of setting & deleting new keyframes, doesn’t seem to fix the “ease out” effect of my starting keyframe.

    Is there still no way to get steady motion when changing a clip or object’s position?

    thanks,
    Josh

    I’ve made some Final Cut Pro X effects that might help:

    Alex4D Smooth Move gives you control over the acceleration curves between two points (as well as scale and rotation).

    There’s also Alex4D Curve X and Alex4D Curve Y. They give you Final Cut Pro 7-like animation curves which you can edit in the timeline. FCPX only allows one parameter to have a published animation curve – that’s why Curve X and Curve Y are separate.

    A couple of workarounds until Apple gives editors a little bit more control.
