Help! camera movements changing b/w keyframes

Please help! I'm making a kinetic type video and the camera movements change in between the keyframes I set up. For example; if I want the camera to just shift to the right, I copy the frame position, and then change the X axis. When I switch between the two frames everything is right, except the frames that AE makes up in between is also changing the Y axis... but the Y is the same on each keyframe. I've tried looking everywhere for help, everywhere in the program, tried re-doing it mutiple times, restarting AE, ect and I cant figure it out... Please help!

You have a "boomrang" effect, and this can be corrected easily. Select your keyframes, right click and go to "Keyframe Interpolation" and select "linear".
In the preferences menu (edit > preferences > general) you can check the preference "default interpretation to linear" wich is unchecked by default.
Also, one of the neat new feature of AE CS4 is the ability to separate dimensions. It's really time saving when animating cameras or complicated x,y,z mouvement. For that, select your position property, right clic and select "separate dimension". Now you will be able to animate the x,y,z property independantly.

You can use iPhoto for the import. iLife apps are integrated. From within iMovie you have direct access to iTunes for adding music, and iPhoto for photos and videos in the iPhoto library.
Or you can use the Image Capture application for the import if you prefer placing such imports into manually created folders and not using iPhoto.

FAQ: Why does my layer (camera) move back and forth between keyframes of equal value?

In some cases, the Auto Bezier spatial interpolation for Position keyframes can cause undesired back-and-forth (boomerang) motion between two keyframes with equal values. In such a case, you can change the earlier keyframe to use Hold interpolation or change both keyframes to use Linear interpolation.
To change the default to linear interpolation, choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > General (Mac OS), and select Default Spatial Interpolation To Linear. Changing the preference setting does not affect keyframes that already exist or new keyframes on properties for which keyframes already exist.

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

Why Won't This Digital Camera Movie Load Into iPhoto

I shot 186 photos and 12 movies with my Canon digital camera this past week while my wife and I were on vacation. The photos and 11 movies (all about one minute or less) loaded just fine but my longest one (3 minutes which is the maximum for my digital camera) will not load. Is there a maximum time limit for digital camera movies that I have exceeded with iPhoto?

Hi David,
when you say "will not load" do you meant it won't open in Quicktime or it didn't download into iPhoto?
This is what I do;
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.

If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Matching up camera move

I'm relatively new to shake and had a question. I need to comp a live, underwater shot (w/camera moving-pan) with a GS shot with a similar move. My problem is the two shots/movements aren't exactly lined up. What is the best way to go about matching/sinking up the two shots? Please help.
Thank you

Since you're new to Shake, I would suggest you work through Tutorial Chapter 7
"Tracking and Stabilization".
I assume that the underwater shot needs a dose of SmoothCam, as Patrick suggests,
but maybe the foreground moves were shot with a dolly, so you can skip the
stabilization? Otherwise you have to stabilize the foreground, too.
Either way, since the camera moves don't match exactly, you probably
need to insert a Move2D node in the foreground after SmoothCam and
before the comp. Then you could manually keyframe additional motion
to make the camera paths match.

Camera moves jerk type breaks up

I am using DVD Studio Pro (4.2.0) for the first time. I output a QT file from a Final Cut project, and imported it as an asset in DVD Studio Pro. In DVD Studio Pro Preferences, Encoding Pane, I set mode at Two Pass VBR, as I understood this would yield best quality. I left the Bit Rate as I found it, 4.0 Mbps and Max Bit Rate at 7.0 Mbps. When I burned the DVD and tried playing it I noticed two quality issues:
1) Some camera moves have jerking quality
2) White titles against black ground break up slightly in areas
When I had previously used iDVD to create a DVD using the same content, neither of these problems existed.
How can I improve the quality using the professional software DVD Studio Pro, so that it matches the consumer software, iDVD???
If this involves changing the details of encoding on the assets already in the DVD project, can you advise as to what the specs should be for encoding?
The content is only 35 minutes long. At the current settings I have used only 1.5 GB of the DVD disc space.
And if I AM to change the encoding specs, can this be done after the assets were imported, or do I have to delete the assest and re-import to re-encode? Thank you so much in advance.

What type of timeline are you using in FInal Cut? (Is it DV etc.)
One way is to set the timeline to Uncompressed when using Text and export as a self contained movie OR send straight to Compressor (with the new Studio it looks improved to me anyway) this will help with quality.
It is best never to encode inside DVD SP

Camera movements in flash

I've been scouring the internet and searching user forums for
tutorials and tips on how to produce camera movements. Most of the
3d programs I've used (as well as Mojo) have had internal
easy-to-use cameras. Please tell me that I don't have to learn
action script to be able to do things like simple slow zooming or a
quick cut to a close up on a character's face. (In case you can't
tell, I primarily use flash for character animation.)

the analog way is to simply place entire "scenes" in a symbol
- then scale/motion tween/pan the
symbol around the stage (make sure the scene extends well
beyond the stage area).

How to create shape that follows camera movement

Hi
I am trying to create a little axis representation on the bottom of the canvas that would be fixed in position relative to the camera and the axis. (i.e. if camera moves or rotate, the axis representation will stay at the same place and rotate accordingly). What is the best way to do this ? Do I extend the Camera/Mouse class and tell it to update the transform group of the axis shapes whenever it moves ? Does anyone have a example of how they did it ?
Thanks, Dave

Julie,
To get something that resembles a straight pill (or a capsule) as the one you describe, you may:
1) Create the outer rounded shape and split it into two: one on top with the stroke, one below with the solid fill corresponding to the colour adjacent to the stroke;
2) Select the filled path and Object>Path>Offset Path, using a negative value that is half the width less a suitable small amount (1pt or something);
3) Change the fill of the small inner path to a paler grey or white;
4) Select both the filled paths and Object>Blend>Make (with Smooth or a suitable number of steps in the Object>Blend Options).
To easily get something that is more like a round pill, you may apply horizontal gradients to the paths in the blend, along with a suitable number of steps.
With a new version, you may also use the new 3D features.

Baking a Layer with Camera Movement

Picking up on my adjacent post...
I'm trying to bake a layer in a project that has camera movement... we start on a man in closeup and then we zoom out to a long shot. But if I turn off the camera, the man is in closeup and stays that way. Baked and imported into the project, you'll have just the man's head when the camera pulls back in the live project.
With the camera on during baking, there's the move. But now import that into the project, and the camera motion is double applied -- the baking time and the live time.
How is this done?
Thanks very much for your help.

You can export the layer with the camera turned on, which will "bake in" the camera move, then when you bring it back in, put it in a 2D group so that it's not affected by the project camera.

Frustrated: No visible camera movement through 3d

Hope someone can help me, an AE beginner. Here's what I want to do and haven't been able to so far. I want to move one camera in a simple, slightly curving path through 3D and have it move towards and then past stationary still photos.
What I have so far.
One comp consisting of 5 layers. All layers set to 3D.
Top layer is a solid with fractal noise effect animated creating a fog/cloudy look (background) Z axis= 200
2nd layer is a still photo scaled pretty small. Appears as small rectangle in front view. Z axis= -- 200
3rd layer is a null object. (entitled camera master) This layer/cam follows simple straight motion path from Z axis = -- 400 to 450, all the way through
photo layer and solid (foggy/cloudy) layer.
4th layer is a null object entitled camera movement and its parent is "camera master" layer
5th layer is 35mm camera and its parent is "camera movement layer".
(got this camera set-up somewhere on internet.)
Basic set up is one camera with a 2D photo in front of it and a solid object (set at comp height/width) in the background. Space between each. Camera path is straight line through both to a spot behind 1st layer (foggy background).
When I preview/play this in custom view the camera moves right through and past both top layers which seems to be what I want...that is the camera moving towards the photo...it growing larger and sliding past camera and off frame and approaching background, going through it and out to nothing...but this does not happen....there is absolutely no visible movement on the photo's or background's part. Now i know I could animate it and put it on a motion path to scale up or move towards the cam. etc... but this is AE...can't I "dolly" a camera through/around stationary objects/layers?
Hope someone can help me here because I'm stuck.

Should setting the photo to 3D (in layers panel) make a difference? that's what i've done... Also the photo is scaled down smaller than comp size. Currently topmost layer (background solid) is visible beyond photo.

Distortion tools won't work and camera movements either...why?

2 questions:
Over the course of my work with motion I have somehow disabled the option of being able to control skew and all distortion effects with my mouse. I am having to do everything with control points now.
1. What did I do?
I've selected the tool and the object in the timeline and I just can't manipulate the object.
My other question involves the camera tool. I get no response from any of my camera effects and no control over any camera movement. It just remains a stagnant shot.
2. Wgat did I do?
Thank you for your help.

Flash CS5: Is there a keyboard shortcut to move to the next keyframe?

I know there are keyboard shortcuts to move to the next and previous frames -- "." and "," but they're not really what I'm referring to. Also, these keys don't necessarily move to the next and previous frames, rather it just seems to move the red playhead instead of the blue highlighted box (which represents the current frame). This is something I'm also confused about with this keyboard shortcut.
I would like to know though, if there is a keyboard shortcut to move to the next keyframe (each frame that begins with a dot). Thanks for your help.

While I am not quite sure what you mean with
"each frame that begins with a dot"
you can use jsfl to program your own macros/shortcuts

Camera Quality Changed After 10.2 upgrade

After upgrading to OS 10.2. the quality of the camera just changed. With the flash on, the images are sooo dark you can hardly see the images. A lot clearer when you take a picture without it. regardless if the area is really dark, a bit dark or with enough light. The rleft side is without the flash and the right is the one with flash.

Let me suggest you manually install the most recent official OS, 10.2.0.1803.
