Slowing down camera movement at last keyframe

[Nolan Scott]

With the camera selected in the Timeline choose File/New Track/Time.
Option/Alt click the sequence (possible the X track) to open the
sequence properties into the Attributes Manager.
Drag the name Time from the Timeline to the box time Track
in the Attributes Manager. You might have to create a few more
keyframes and adjust them to your liking –
You might use the F Curve Manager for that.

Cheers

I too am mystified as to why Cinema 4d’s easy ease is not very….um..easy.
I tried to create the time track as specified; but when I attempted to drag the “time” from the timeline to the “time track” box,
the box was grayed out and would’t allow it.

If you have any ideas as to which miniscule step I missed, please let me know.

Thanks for the enlightenment,

Miniscule steps are all there are. 😉

To wit, note where Nolan said you have to select the ‘sequence’ of an object to apply a time track. The sequence is the horizontal bar where keyframes are set, NOT the attribute itself, e.g. the horizontal bar to the right of the word ‘position,’ but not the word ‘position’ itself.

The distinction between a ‘sequence’ and a ‘track’ is an important one that carries through for a few things. After Effects doesn’t work this way. When you create a position track, a sequence comes along with it, but they’re separately selectable.

Beyond this, there are a few weird things about time tracks also. Search this forum because I’ve gone through them in detail (and others too I’m sure).

Thanks, I’ll review and try again.

And…you caught me, an after effects junkie wandering into a new world of cinema 4d.
