  • many 3d layers that need to move from slow to fast- how?

    Posted by Jack Hilkewich on February 5, 2009 at 5:44 pm

    Hello,

    I was wondering if there is an easy way to control the speed of a 3d layer. Right now I have 34 3d layers. they are text quotes that move from behind the camera and fly off in the distance. I need them to start slowly then gradually speed up. I do it with key frames now but when I want to adjust the speed a bit I find it time consuming to adjust all the key frames on each layer. is there a way to do this with expressions or a script?

    I am using CS4.

    Thanks for any and all help!

    Or, leave all your 3d layers still and animate the camera instead?

    They move sequentially. I was thinking of doing the camera move but I need all of the layers to end up in a very specific point. The text quotes come together to form the shape of a logo.

    The first few quotes have to come in at a speed that enables us to read them but then as they keep coming they speed up to the point where we can’t read them any more.

    The issue is coming up with a speed for each one that works. When i set it all up and then decide to try another speed the time it take to adjust all the key frames really drags me down.

    Thanks for the help so far.
