Easier Interpolation of Key Frames?

Hey, me again.
I'm animating a camera around with key frames and I was wondering if there is easier way to select Ease In and Ease Out for interpolation than using the Key Frame Editor and having to manually select each animated parameter and then clicking on the key frame and selecting the interpolation. I personally don't have a clue why right-clicking on the key frame in the timeline doesn't bring up an Ease In and Out option that applies to all parameters.
Thank you for your time!!!

Normally if you have the selection tool (a) active
all you do is click and drag. You might have better
luck with the pen tool (p) itself, but enlarge your
view in the Timeline so you don't add more keyframes
by mistake. Another option is to do it numerically in
the Viewer: position the playhead right on the
keyframe and type the new value into the appropriate
field. Working bigger has made adjusting keyframes
alot easier for me. Not very prfound help...but it's
what I know.

Thanks a lot for your help.
what you meant
"Another option is to do it numerically in the Viewer: position the playhead right on the keyframe and type the new value into the appropriate field."
only permits to position the new KF at the new place. Is that right ?
not to erase the previous one.
As a matter of fact I tried what you and Brian suggested and I could manage.

  • When are Apple going to sort out the Final Cut Pro X Key Frame problem

    Hello,
    I’m trying to move three custom text clips to different locations on the screen & change the text size. The text clips drift around between two key frames with the same values. (“linear” is set on the red wire frame movement indicator) I know you can stop the drift by going to the first key frame, move forward one frame, add a key frame, wait for the rendering to complete then delete the key frame, then move to the next key frame, go back one frame, add a key frame, wait for the rendering to complete then delete the key frame. All this takes a considerable time. Does anyone know when Apple plan to fix this Key Frame bug? Or an easier way to stop the drift between key frames?
    Thanks
    JohnH

    Yep, I hope KFs get a little bit of love in the next update too.
    To make my KFs linear, I always do the move, then drop a dummy keyframe inbetween them and add/delete that KF until the Motion path stops showing a change. Linear interpolation will follow!
    Pain but quite quick!!

  • Copy & paste multiple key frames?

    Is there a way to copy and paste multiple key frames?
    Thanks.

    Drawing a marque around multiple keyframes is easy, too. You can select a property and all of its keyframes will be selected. You can performa sophisticated choices of non-continguous keyframes with command-select. You can also do lots of editing in the graph view.

  • How to "ease in" to a key frame

    Hi
    is there some way i can ease in to a key frame, so that for instance if the key frame was a motion keyframe rather than the motion start sharply when the keframe was reached the motion  started slowly a defined time before the key frame  and built up to the speed defined by the next key frame along
    sort of like a ramp before the first key frame so then there would also be a ramp down to the motion stopping at the second key frame
    if yes what would the process be called
    thanks

    Select the keyframe and press F9 for Easy Ease or
    Select the keyframe and press Shift+F9 for Easy Ease In or
    Select the keyframe and press Shift + Cmnd/Ctrl + F9 for Easy Ease Out or
    Right click on the selected keyframe and go to Keyframe Assistant, or
    Go to Animation> Keyframe Assistant > and choose an option.
    Notice how the keyboard shortcuts are listed in the right column. Learn them. It will save you a bunch of time.
    For more options select the graph editor, pick your property, the use the controls there to control the speed or the value of the keyframes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problems with animations using key frames and other bugs

    To me, the current version of Acrobat 3D Toolkit (7.0.7) seems like a beta version -- unfortunately I payed the full price. Or maybe there are a few settings only set wrong on my system and someone can tell me how to correct this ...
    ++ Animations using key frames
    According to the manual page 86:
    <-----
    6. Ensure the time/frame line is positioned at frame 0, right-click over the time/frame line in the timeline, and then click Insert Key.
    ---->
    I cannot get this context menu option (see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/no-insert-key-option.gif )
    ++ Empty and hence almost useless Animations Options dialog
    The Animation Options dialog does not list any Sequence entries -- although there are sequences available, see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/empty-animation-options-dialog.gif.
    ++ Mixed up icon bars
    Moving icon bars around can result in a complete mix-up of unusable icons, see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/mixed-up-menus.gif
    ++ Functionless Object Position toolbar
    The object position cannot be set using the Object Position toolbar, the OK icon is deactivated all the time although the tick icon is darker green, i.e. supposedly active (see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/position-panel.gif
    ++ Missing things
    Why is there no properties panel visible all the time, displaying the properties of the selected object and allowing to change properties (e.g. positions, angles etc.)?
    Why is it impossible to view different trees at the same time (e.g. scene tree and animation tree)?
    Why is it impossible to have different models open simultaneously? (E.g. to compare settings or even to copy properties/objects from one model to the other.)
    Why is it impossible to create new folders in the scene tree? Imported folders are available, but for the scene management within Acrobat 3D I may have different requirements than the CAD designer had. (Also, I would like to put new objects in folders of my own.)
    Why is tabbing not supported more extensively? E.g. All the different trees (Folders, Scene Tree, ...) could all be put into a single tabbed panel saving valuable space on my screen but still giving easy access to all items.
    Why is there no Undo for camera position changes?
    Why is there no Undo for material edits (e.g. applying a new material to an object)?
    Why is it only possible to animate object movements, not the making visible/invisible of objects and changes of the camera position?
    Why is it impossible to save object selections? Within a larger model it always is a lot of clicking to get the view required for certain actions.
    Why are there a lot of different Display options available on-screen but when a scene is rendered into a file, Acrobat 3D uses the same display option all the time (i.e. Solid)?
    Probably this list could be extended quite heavily. And some of these missing things may be time intensive to realize (and saved for future versions), others are comparably basics now-a-days.

    I agree with the "beta" feel of the 3D Toolkit. I have been very frustrated getting animation to work well. Specifically, I made an animation that plays in Toolkit, imports and plays into Acrobat 3D, but does not play in Reader. It displays 3D and rotates, etc., but I cannot get the animaiton to play.
    The contextural menu issue you see I see also. The menu appears, but without the "add Key Frame" item. I find that if I select an object, move it a bit, move it back, then the menu will appear. (at least sometimes I think) Pretty frustrating.

  • Positioning media on a key frame

    Hi,
    I'm new to jmf, but I made a lot of things myself. I'm able to play video files (xvid, using jffmpeg), took the cut.java from the solutions and adopted to my needs. But I'm having a small annoyance with the cutting.
    When I try to cut the video on a frame that is not a key frame I get audio/video desyncronization. The thing is that the cut.java program starts cutting the video from a key frame, that could be some 5-10 frames after the current (selected) frame.(I set my video files to have a key frame every 15 frames at most)
    So an easy solution to my problem would be to set the starting point of the cutting on a key frame. And my question is: How to set the media time of my player/processor to a key frame?
    I need something like processor.positionOnNextKeyFrame().
    Thanks,
    Bojan

    Thanks for the reply,
    I saw that one but somehow I cannot find out how to get the buffer from the processor? I tried the code from cut.java but I didn't like to go through every step when I have already loaded the file in a processor. Somehow I lost my self in that. Maybe it is the solution...
    I was researching and found out that there might be a way if I could somehow get the Track from the processor. Track interface has a method:
    readFrame(Buffer buffer) - Reads the next frame for this Track
    So if I could get the track then I would be able to loop through the frames and do this check:
    if ((buf.getFlags() & Buffer.FLAG_KEY_FRAME) != 0)
    So how do I get the Track? Through the TrackControl somehow?
    Thanks again

  • How to make footage in between position key frames stay in a straight line?

    I used position keyframes to move the footage to the right, in different positions near the right side of the sequence frame (not all the same position), in preparation for a split frame crop effect. Between keyframes the footage jumps back to the original position. I selected all the key frames and did a rightclick and set Temporal and Spatial interpolation to Linear or Bezier - but that doesn't do anything at all. What am I missing?

    Thanks for trying to help me Ann. The temp. & spatial interpolation on all keyframes is Linear. There don't appear to be any hidden keyframes, but I don't see how to zoom more than the default shown here. Where the playhead in this screencap - between the 2 keyframes - is where the motion jumps back. All the position keyframes align the footage to the right. In between keyframes - and not every one - it jumps back to the center. The extra keyframes in the clip were an attempt to keep that from happening but it justs happens in shorter increments now.
    Just curious - is a person able to mark their own answer as correct?

  • Best export settings for Canon cameras: Key Frame Distance confusion

    Good evening! I have the Canon SX230 camera (for easy understanding, you could consider it as 5D Mark) and Premiere Pro CS5.5, and what I need is to export my project with the best similar to the source quality, as lossless as it possible (but not like absolute lossless oversized AVI's...) To my happiness, there are not so many export settings, but I am very puzzled with "Set Key Frame Distance" point. Okay, basically I understand what GOP is, what I don't understand is what value I should choose for the best result, if my сamera does videos with M=1/N=12? I'm choosing "1" Key Frame Distance, like all frames are I-frames, saving the original sequence, because you don't want to convert original I-frames to P-frames, so it's better to make them I-/P-/B-frames all like I-frames? Am I right at this point, is that wise, and will it be the best reasonable option, matching original M=1/N=12? Or is it not worth it? And will it fundamentally affect the file size? I really need your help on this, worked on this project for three months and really don't want to screw up all:) Thank you very much!
    sample of my sourse files:
    and this is my export settings, which I think is the best of the best, but please correct me if I'm wrong:

    Oh dear Ann, unfortunately it is not possible.
    For some unbelievable reason it is okay to mux H.264 with Dolby, but forbidden to mux H.264 with PCM. That has absolutley no sense. Anyway, that's not a problem, mkvtoolnix does a perfect job. Really need PCM stereo audio for that project. And H.264 is the best codec for Full HD project out there, MPEG is too old...

  • Effects and key-frames not working on some clips Premiere CC 2014

    Hi. I am having an issue where effects and key frames applied to both audio and video are not working, but only sometimes. Even after I render or export the video, the effects are not showing up. For example, trying to adjust volume using key-frames on some clips works fine, and not at all on others. The key-frames show up and I can see the volume changing in the effects panel, but it is not happening. Another example is changing the opacity on some video clips and it does not work sometimes. Same thing, I can see the key-frames and the values changing, but it's not actually happening. I have uninstalled and re-installed premiere pro and media encoder with no luck. I have uninstalled and re-installed the latest Nvidia drivers with no luck. Just to restate, this only happens on some clips and rendering or exporting the video does not help. My computer specs are:
    MSI GT60 Laptop:
    Intel Core i7 4800MQ (2.70GHz)
    16GB Memory 1TB HDD 128GB SSD
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M 8GB
    2880 x 1620 16:9 3K Display
    Windows 8.1 64-Bit

    Here is the exact screenshot.  Now I'm also trying other effects as stated in my original post.  But this effect is just an example.  Is there really something that I'm doing wrong here?  Or am I forgetting something?  Is there some special "adobe doesn't let keyframes work on mpg's" rule or something silly like that?
    I wish that I could post a video, but I don't know how.
    Please let me know what I need to do to make this work properly.

  • Problems when importing multiple files into key frames

    I'm creating an interactive flash application that uses hundreds of individual renders from a 3d modelling app.  The image file size is 800 x 600.  Each sequence that i import to the stage is around 120 images and each gets put into a separate key frame.  The problem is, often when I import batches of files into flash the program crashes and stops responding. The problem gets worse after each succesful import ie. after importing the first lot of files, its unlikely that the second lot of files will import.
    Interestingly, I dont have this problem on my pc.  So I can  do all the importing on my pc, but when I try and compile the swf file my pc does not create a file and sometimes crashes.  So I am having to import on my pc and compile the swf on my mac.
    Anyone else having similar problems? is there a better way of going about this?

    flash is limited to 16,000 frames.
    use several swfs and load them into a main swf.

  • When I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it adds several frames to my animation

    I am trying to edit an FLV file with flash professiona.  Right now every frame is on long frame sequence, meaning that right now there is only one key fram in the entire 40 second animation.  I am trying to add put key frames at various points in my animation but when I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it copies ever frame up to the selected and adds it to the front of my timeline.  Any Idea how to fix this?  I want to break my video up so I can add some shape tweens in between some of the frames

  • Why is the position of key frame BEFORE scene changes not after?

    Why is the position of I frame BEFORE scene changes not after?
    And, why doesn't MovieVideoChart show any I frames other than those that correspond to periodic "key frames every X frames"? Is it reading meta data and not really showing where the real existing I frames are located? I.e. WYSIAL (what you see is a lie)? If so, where can I get an affordable tool that will let me examine my files in this regard?
    I have put compression and chapter marks at scene changes in FCP and have exported with markers for DVDSP (both chapter and compression).
    I have read on this forum (somewhere) that when insert key frames every X frames is selected, Compressor is still going to insert key frames automatically at key frames.
    When I last encoded with H.264 in Compressor, I selected option to insert I key frame every 90 frames (fps=29.97).
    When I jump to chapter in my encoded video, where I had place a key frame at a cut, I end up with a chapter at the frame BEFORE the cut.
    I will try moving my chapter/compression marks a frame ahead and see if that helps.
    Certainly, others must have been plagued by this problem.
    When encoding with MPEG2 for DVD, the same thing happens.
    It is a real problem. I get one frame appearing before the cut in chapter skips.
    Hope someone can illuminate this problem.

    Hi there
    As you have seen, RoboHelp doesn't understand how to create the layers you are wanting to achieve the effect in Word. It simply brings the images in as separate objects.
    Basically there are two approaches you might consider.
    You could insert Positioned Text Boxes and configure them to present the images as you want. If you take this approach, you will likely find yourself struggling to maintain the positioning consistently as well as noticing text flow issues. Personally, I'd avoid that approach.
    The other approach involves displaying the images in your Word document so that you see them as intended, then screen capture so you grab the combined image. Then save that combined image and use it instead of the separate images in RoboHelp. This is the approach I'd suggest and that I use myself.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Way to control audio key frames across multiple tracks in one fell swoop?

    Hi everybody. Let's say I have 5 layers of audio, and I want to key frame levels and fades across all of them. Is there a way to sync the tracks such that, any changes I make to one will apply to all? Ala, the way one makes changes to both tracks in a stereo pair in one fell swoop.

    Nest the sequence and make the moves on the resulting "mixed-down" audio. All audio should appear as a simple stereo pair in the nest. Adjust here.

  • Need Help Pasting Key Frames from one still image to others, and Changing the duration of multiple still images.

    I'm working on a stop motion project, and I have at least a thousand still images to work with.
    I have adjusted several Key Frame settings on the 1st still image in my project, such as
    Brightness
    Cropping
    Scale
    Position
    I now want to apply these exact settings to hundreds of still images at a time that make up one scene in the project (but not all still images in the entire project).. Is there a way to paste or easily transfer them?
    Also, there are scenes I'm working on in which I want to change the image duration of hundreds of photos at once, but not change to duration of all images in the project, is this possible?
    I've looked at several different web-links, but none of them have what I'm looking for. If you can please help me, I'd be willing to send you $10 through paypal. Knowledge is power; the solution to these problems would save me hours of time. If you don't fully understand my questions I can send you a pictures or a video, pointing out my needs.

    Stan,
    Thanks again for your input.
    When the project is created, I don't recall seeing the preference settings until after the project opens the first time.  In that case if certain media was imported into the project panel but not in the sequence, after the duration was changed, it would be necessary to remove the media from the project panel then re-import again.  If there is a workaround to this please let me know.  It also doesn't appear that creating a new sequence would prevent the re-importing.  Could you confirm?
    Thanks for the link on automating to sequence--I remember that from CS4.
    The application of identical effects to media on the timeline in a sequence was something I had learned back in CS3 or maybe earlier CS4 where the effected, in this case a transition between images was applied then copied then using the paste or (Control V) command, applied to all other stills.  That worked fine but with lots of images, it ends up being a lot of "point and clicks" since the CTI must be moved to each transition insertion point before the paste is applied. 
    I actually thought that I had seen someone select the remainder of the images in the sequence then apply the paste command but I was never able to make that work.  Have you heard of such a short-cut?
    Much thanks again!!

  • Question, Trouble with 1st key frame

    Let me thank anyone who is nice enough to answer my beginners questions in advance. I made my first very simple flash file yesterday and things went pretty well after I figured out that you had to insert "blank key frames" in the time line until you want something to come on after the beginning of the sequence. I have something that is good enough to go on my web site except for the very beginning of the movie. When my movie recycles everything comes on for 1/12 of a second because every layer has a darkened key frame in position one. From then on it works fine until it recycles again and of course, everything reappears for 1/12 of a second because we are back at the beginning. How do I stop the layers that are programmed to come on later in the movie from flashing on when the 1st frame is passed by on repeats? Something simple I'm sure because I don't see everyone else's movies doing this : < ) Vern

    I have my little Flash movie working pretty well and sent it to the forum where it has been posted as a banner ad. The new problem is that it does not send respondents to my web site when they click on the ad. The folks at the forum think I need to embed my web site address somewhere in the Flash file. I looked through the Publish Settings where I thought this would be covered and could not find anything that looks appropriate. Hoping someone can give me a clue : < )
