Hi!
When you animate something, for instance an object moving across the screen, the object starts out slow, then gather some speed before brekaing and stopping again. Is there an easy way to make it move with constant speed?
Thanks in advance /Jacob

I think what you're seeing is the smoothing of the keyframes feature. Find the keyframes in the timeline, and right click them. Then change it from "smooth" to "linear". I think that's what you're looking for.

use the layer translate tool, but dont do it manually. use the box with co-ordinate and move in incremental values. ie increase the number by 5 for each movement. combine this with the timeline and space your keyframes in incremental values, ie every 20 frames. these two together should give a smooth transition. experiment to get the flow you want!!

Yes. The keyframe setting affects the movement between the selected keyframe and the next keyframe. The default setting, smooth, usually adds a little bit of ease-in and ease-out due to smoothing the movement graph.

You might want to take a look at the timeline in graph mode to get a better idea of what is happening.

Aha... bingo!
