Unable to see/adjust keyframe handles

[Robin S. kurz]

Click and drag the keyframe while holding the ⌘-key.

Thanks, Robin!

I tried that, after reading a comment on someone else’s post about the same issue, but it did not work for me… I’m still baffled here, it seems like such a basic thing that I am starting to think there’s a bug in this version of Motion (or more likely, a bug in the guy behind the mouse, hehe)

Thanks!

So yeah, I tried that several times again and no avail. One things which seems to be a hint (which I do not grasp yet) is that these keyframes which do not have handles, when I right click them and try to choose interpolation method, they show 2 methods are being “shared”: – Linear and – Bezier (they have dashes in front of them, see attached image). How did I get here? This happens on several of my keyframes, thus this issue keeps bothering me and limiting my camera movement easing.

Much appreciated your attention on this, truly.

That will usually mean that the keyframes on opposite sides of the vertice are set to different interpolation types or if you have multiple keyframes selected from different curves. Obviously a single keyframe can’t have multiple interpolation settings.

Whether or not any of that applies is unfortunately not visible in the screenshot. But you simply select <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>all of them and set them to the same interpolation method or rather simply select the one or other at that moment of your screenshot.

Also: when doing the ⌘-drag you first need to be sure that nothing is selected.

Thanks for staying here to help me! The first paragraph makes sense, I’ll use this to research some more what is happening. The last line is also intere4sting, I would have presumed the keyframe needed to be selected.

<font face=”inherit”>One thing which might be interesting to say (and might hint at what is </font>going<font face=”inherit”> on) is that I’m adjusting keyframes of a camera, which I set in the Properties to : “* Animate: Use Orientation”. It felt like the way to go when I started, although I did not know what it meant 100%. Also, it is a Viewpoint camera. Do these infos help?</font>

<font face=”inherit”>I’ll go prod some further with your tips and see if I can figure what’s </font>going<font face=”inherit”> on.</font>
