Motion path bezier curve handles disappeared

[Gerald Hapeman]

I posted earlier… and then of course, figured it out… and found some other wonderful toys to play with too!

For those who made need to know… I made my keyframe path to form a square (or whatever) with a simple Position and Z rotation move. At each break point(corner), or major key frame turn, I clicked on it and called up the KeyFrame Interpolation as suggested… and using Spatial Interpolation, changed that from Linear to Auto Bezier to get my handles to appear. The Gods be praised! Then… I also clicked on those keyframes and then into the Graph Editor I go… Click on the Keyframe icon to edit those keyframes and choose Rove Across Time to make it even speed and silky smooth. So now my squared, jagged movement is more circular and organic!! Just wanted to mention this as everyone here has been so incredibly helpful that I thought I could pass on some useful tips to newbs and all alike!

Yep, exactly. You won’t get any bezier handles on linear keyframes.

This worked for me as well. Thank you so much! Simple fix…when you know it. But HELL when you don’t! LOL!!!
