Linear Z Axis movement in 3D
I have some 3d extruded characters (numbers) that I want to appear from a distance from different orientations coming to rest in
front of the camera. The issue I’m having is that when I ease the Z
axis so they come to a gentle stop, the characters start to curve out of
the frame. I can’t wrap my brain around how to maintain linear motion
on the Z axis, but change the speed of the character. I’ve included a link to the
video for reference below. I need the number 2 to come to a stop simultaneously
with the 1 without swinging wide. Note – I don’t know how I managed to
get the 1 to do this, and when I duplicate it and try to change anything it
no longer works. What am I not doing right here!? I know it must have something to do with the fact that I had to select separate dimensions to use handles in the keyframe editor. Link to video: https://imgur.com/6OjIAHC -

Select both, and, it is Speed graph for position and rotation you want to manipulate for a nice slow-in. Since 2 is farther away, its positional speed is higher than that of 1. With both selected you can compare the speeds, make the speed at first frame higher, and at the last frame 0. Similarly adjust the rotation.
