  • making a layer stay still

    Posted by Socaljp on June 15, 2006 at 1:12 am

    I have a layer that I want to stay still for a few seconds before I move it again. I have keyframes set for position, scale, and rotation. They layer is set to where I want it to stay. So I copy and paste those keyframes to a spot on the timeline which is a few seconds later. During the time inbetween my keyframes my layer moves a bit and then returns to the point where I want it. Why is it moving if I have the exact same keyframes set a few seconds away from eachother? I do not see how this is possible. Please help

    you need to set your keyframes to linear. highlight the keyframe, right click, and go to interpolation; select liner

    Actually, If they are the exact same value, a better option would be setting it as a “hold” keyframe.

    ctrl+alt+h

    But either way you should be fine.

    peace,
