Thanks for the insights. I’ll keep this in mind going forward. Though it’s less than ideal, as I I’m constantly making changes to the After Effects files and so don’t see the value in waiting for them to render again and again (a lot of waiting). I guess I can live with it for now.

December 1, 2011 at 6:34 pm in reply to: Scaling interpolation acting like spatial interpolation

Thanks for your help. I tried this method of animating the anchor point instead. This results in a somewhat more direct movement line than the skewampus path I get when animating position on top of animating a bezier scale, but I’m afraid the image still isn’t moving in a straight line. I’m still seeing a bezier curve in the spatial movement, when I need it to be linear. Only the scaling should have a bezier ease in and out. Any other ideas?

Or is what I want impossible? Do you think I could be experiencing something like an optical illusion because the scaling and movment aren’t in tandum, and so it causes the movement to appear irregular, when in reality it is moving in a straight line?

P.S. your portfolio inspires me.

I’m having the exact same issue. I’ve played with the velocity and weight parameters in both the emitter and behavior controls, and no matter what I do, I can’t slow down that darn smoke. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Yeah, my friend owns an M Audio box, and I’ve typically used it in the past, but I’m tired of borrowing it. It just seems that in theory the DVX should be just as capable of an IO for most purposes, so I wanted to see if I could avoid buying extra hardware.

Thanks, but that’s what I mean about losing quality when converting between RCA and TRS (quarter inch input). I don’t think it’s ever advisable to convert XLR to quarter inch if it can be avoided, and I think it’s my doing this that is causing a subtle high-pitched ring in my recordings. Also, I need to feed the audio through my videocamera, because the DVX puts off phantom power, which I need for my condenser microphones. Unfortunately, my Audigy soundcard can’t do that.
