strange keyframe behaviour
Hi
I’ve had this problem for a while. Here’s a simple example: I’ll keyframe a solid’s position to be to the left of the screen, then keyframe it to move to the right of the screen 25 frames later. I’ll want it to pause here for a further 25 frames before moving it somewher else, so I copy the keyframes that placed it here at the right side of the screen and paste them 25 frames later. So now there’s a gap of 25 frames between 2 sets of keyframes that are exactly the same, yet the positional values fluctuate in the gap, making the solid do a little move before getting back to it’s proper position. When I remove the keyframes that placed the solid at the left of the screen this problem goes away, so i suppose its something to do with the animation curves affecting later keyframes. Is there some kind of keyframe interpolation option that can sort this out because it’s really getting to me now!
Hope that all makes sense, thanks for reading

It IS something to do with the animation curves, I believe. The way to fix it is to make the first ending keyframe a Hold keyframe (command-shift-H), then add a new keyframe where you want the animation to resume – it will default to another Hold keyframe so Command-click it once to turn it back into a Linear keyframe. Make your final move at the next keyframe. This will prevent anything from drifting.
Hope this helps,
