    Stupid question I know, but is there a way to slow the constant speed down without spreading out the key frames?

    I’m simply scrolling pictures from left to right across the screen within a :30 second timeline, but they are going to fast.

    I obviously don’t get to use AfterEffects too much. Can anybody help me?

    Thanks

    -Keith

    Thanks Dave…
    I must be doing something wrong because its taking me about 15 minutes just to change the constant speed of these 15 pictures scrolling across the screen.

    Say I want to slow the whole thing down, I adjust the first pictures “position” key frames and then copy and paste them to the rest of the 14 pictures “position” settings. But then after I paste the new key frames to each picture, that affects the space between the pictures so then I have to fix the spacing between each picture.

    Also, it’s really hard to fine tune the speed. For example; I need these pictures to scroll across the screen at a certain speed or pace that matches a soundtrack. In order to do this, I have to adjust the “position” keyframes and then fix the spacing for all 15 pictures several times before I get what I think is the right speed, to then have the client say, “just a little bit slower”. It just seems like there should be a way to quickly and easily speed up or slow down the entire composition while the client is watching.
