    I have 3 side-by-side video columns intentionally scrolling upward in a screen frame. They shoot up to fill the frame, then slow down and move up as directed. Then, nearly right away, they move back down a bit (about 15 pixels), then they resume their intended speed and path upward again. The video is 1:05 in length, so it is short. I had the same problem with them in Premiere Pro too, so I thought I’d try a more savvy effects program to accomplish the same thing. AE is stumping me too. What might be causing this and how might I resolve it?

    Look at the graph editor and play with your middle key frame. If you have easing applied it could be the result of that.

    WOW! THIS was immensely enlightening! It WAS whacked somehow and I was able to resolve the issue AND learn something entirely new as a result! You guys with this expertise are SO helpful and generous with your knowledge and time. Thank you for the help and thank you for monitoring the community! It’s like having creative angels watching over us struggling to make a mark.

    The beauty is that you are dealing with tech that is across almost all animation apps.

    Read up on linear, bezier, ease blah blah blah.

    It’ll do you good 🙂
