  • Turn off keyframed effect ramping

    Posted by David Mayer on March 15, 2020 at 3:53 pm

    I keyframe the first and last frame of a clip, then create a zoom effect between the two points using Scale. Unfortunately, it automatically ramps up to full speed for the first second or so and slows down at the end for the last second or so. I want to see the exact zoom effect i keyframed without ramping at the beginning or the end. How to turn off the ramping?

    Turn on the transform overlays with shift-t in the viewer. Right click each key frame in the viewer and choose “linear”.

    So default is Bezier and I can switch to linear – excellent. Any way to reset default to linear?

    Also, how exactly do I find the keyframe in the viewer? I turned on Transform. At the top left there are 3 small boxes: go to previous keyframe, delete keyframe, go to next keyframe – but I don’t think you mean that.

    Thanks again.

    I don’t think so.

    The are the chunky arrow-ish looking things like this:

    thanks for the patience, man
    i am just missin something
    i see an x in the middle of the viewer
    right click it (control click) and i get a dropdown:
    transform
    crop
    distort
    none

    When i choose ken burns i can get a drop down that
    is close to what i want, but i don’t want ken burns
    the dropdown is:
    Ease in and Out
    Ease in
    Ease out
    Linear

    I see, you are only key framing scale?

    If that’s the case, put a keyframe on position at the first scale keyframe, and then you should be able to get the linear drop down.
