Position not following the position keyframes
Hey, sorry to bother you. I’m running after effect cs4 and photoshop cs6 on a 32 bit computer. I have been working on an intro for my youtube gaming channel for the past couple days. I’m going for a motion graphics intro, so I made all the layers in photoshop cs6 and then imported the PSD file into after effects. I then proceeded to moving the layers positions in the ways I wanted them by adding keyframes, and after a bit I noticed that one of the layers would follow the keyframes 1-2 perfectly but when it got to keyframes 2-3 then it would start by going in the total opposite direction then continue to keyframe 3. I guess I should say that keyframe 3 was in the opposite direction of 1-2 so maybe there was a glitch saying to continue in the first direction, cause there are no keyframes stating that it should do that. If anyone knows what to do then please help.

It’s because of the use of Bezier keyframes. If you turn on the motion paths, you will see the over shoot. If you select all your keyframes, right click on them and change the spatial interpolation to linear you, it will correct the problem.

It’s your keyframe interpolation. Select the keyframes you have that are giving you trouble, right click and go to Keyframe interpolation, click linear.
Should solve your issue. Let me know if it works!
I rock.
