How do, I've got me a little animation I'm doing and I've got all my timing blocked out and the rough aniation there but I need to get it looking smooth and get the tweening to work right between key frames.

Now the way in MAx to do this, with the best control, is adjusting the curves in track view right? Well I'm kind of lost. I understand that you turn the in and out keys to the bezier curves (the one at the bottom) so that you can adjust the tangents in trackview and then get the tweening to ease in and out exactly as you want.

But I often find that I can't get the handles to work right as in the curves aren't exactly what I want, can anyone help me? Are there any special ways to get more handles or keys you press to make them more controlable?
Any advise, tips, tutorials will be sweet, thanks!

If you haven't already tried the other types of keys ease in/out, linear, etc ..give them a whirl and see if it helps get any closer. Otherwise I'm afraid I think it will probably be down to putting in extra key frames, which is probably easier to do from within Trackview itself. :)
