Question: Interpolation

[interference]

hello,
i'm not sure to understand what you want (my bad english)
but using keyframes interpolations allows to edit velocity, etc....
hope this help :)

Since - for some reason - the x and y axis aren't separated in its each channel you can only control its acceleration between key-points, it's one of the major drawbacks of AE and I can't understand why they wont just change it once and for all, and add a real curveeditor while they're at it... It's not simple to use, but a rather stupid system, sorry :shrug:

Ah, thanks for the reply guys. Yeah, the curve editor is kind of strange... the one in combustion rocks :).

opacity,
sorry to insist, i use AE and C* nearly every days, and did not undestood the x,y axis story, you can't edit x and y in AE with curves ?! could you re explain the thing slooowwlllyyyy :) please
thx

Okay, I dont know how to write slowly, so you're just gonna have to read read slowly instead :D

When you set a keyframe for position in AE both x and y coordinates are keyed with 1 single key on the timeline. If you want to move in x between frame 1 and 10, and at the same time move y between frame 5 and 15, that's impossible, you have to set 4 keyframes for both x and y instead of just 2 each to simulate what that would look like. It's a horrible workflow for animation, but at the end of the day all AE users find a way - however painful - to get the job done, but that's no excuse :rolleyes: ;)

oh okaaaay, thats right, agree with you.
in fact i have begin with AE and now the separate x and y in C* disturb me, that's fun :eek:

hehe, I suppose so :D I come from a 3D background myself so Im used to the luxurious Softimage curveditors :cool:
