shifting camera problem..has it happened to you?
I am not an expert with cameras, but for some reason i made my camera rotate from one spot at 0:00:00:00 to another spot at 00:00:01:00. Then i went to 00:00:02:00 and copied the keyframes from 00:00:01:00 to keep the camera in one place.
but, for some reason the camera moves around a little bit and then comes back to the position it is supposed to be at on the keyframes. if i move the keyframes out farther in time, the camera movement always occurs up until the halfway point between the keyframes and returns to the normal position at the last keyframe.
this weird and is messing up my project. the only solution i found was to copy and paste the keyframe at 00:00:01:00 to every frame inbetween that timecode and the 00:00:02:00. so i have 30 keyframes that are duplicates to keep the camera from moving
any one know what is up>

Don’t copy and paste the keyframes to keep the camera in place. Instead make the keyframes at 00:00:01:00 HOLD keyframes (ANIMATION > TOGGLE HOLD KEYFRAME) and see if that fixes your problem.

obviously what John says is the clean way of going about it, what happens though is that you have a bazier curve going on between the two identical key frames (the one you copied and the new one) this makes the camera do a slight move before returning. to get rid of it shift to top view and klick on the pasted new keyframe with the transform path point tool and it will lose it’s bazier handles hence quit doing silly little moves.
it took me a lot of swearing a while ago realise what was going on 🙂
hope that helps, but again, you’ll get more control using hold key frames as john suggests above
