    Hi I’m looking for a way to create text that zooms in fast and then as it gets to a readable size it slows down but keeps zooming in. Basically changing the speed of the zoom along the way.

    The paragraphs need to come from nothing and get so large they fly right past the camera while fading out. But they need to slow down at some point so they can be read.

    i’m not sure if you are animating scale or z position (if its a 3d layer)… but try setting the end keyframe to easy ease. select the keyframe then choose animation>keyframe assistant> ease ease (f9). this will ease the interpolation to the final keyframe.

    you can further tweak the interpolation by selecting your animated parameter (scale, position…) and clicking the graph icon in the timeline to show you the motion graph. pull the handles to change the curve.
