Weird movement between keyframes? (not boomerang)

I'm using CS3 and I'm getting some wierd movement occasionally between keyframes in "position" and it's not the boomerang effect. The frames aren't identical, but the z position SHOULD be the same and not change (the x and/or y do). I've looked at every angle I can find and used the graph editor and can't figure it out. In the preview screen I can't see the movement in the path but when I use the graph editor and use the value view I can see the odd random jerky movement in the z line. It's almost like a wiggle (which I've never actually used) and not a smooth continuous motion like the boomerang effect. :-/
I can't find anything on google about it, although I might just not know the write phrasing. Does anyone know what might be causing this??? It's driving me crazy!

Without screenshots, system info and details about your project nobody can know. That said, quite often AE's crappy graph editor will draw jittery lines when zoomed in due to how it iteratively quantizes the curve drawing and there is actually nothing going on. So unless this is an issue with final rendering, I wouldn't go crazy over it.

  • Weird movement after keyframing the same thing twice

    If I make a keyframe for an object to enter the frame from the left, then want to have the same object leave the frame, FCP X creates extra movement on the image in between keyframes. Is there some way I can turn this correction off, or is there something I can do to avoid this?

    Go to that keyframe, right-click it in the Canvas, change it to Linear.

  • Automatic movement between keyframes

    Good afternoon,
    I have a question about a feature of Final Cut Pro X.
    I am working on a movie and wants to move a small block using keyframes.
    I placed an keyframe at 1:00:07 and another at 2:29:05.
    Both keyframes have the position X: 0, and position Y: -850.0.
    But between the two keyframes, the block moves. At 1:54:18, the X:0, and the Y at -822.9. There are no further keyframes between the two i mentioned.
    I can put a keyframe at 1:54:18, but than he's going to move on both sides of the middle keyframe. So it does not help anything.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this? I might use the wrong keyframes or something?
    Thanks!
    Sincerely.

    I posted the same message on another forum and I received an answer that solved my problem.
    This is what he say:
    "I'll assume you're using a version of FCPX before 10.1.2 (or 3). This would be due to the keyframes being set to Smooth, rather than Liniar. One of the two most recent updates fixed the Smooth drifting oddly."

    You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • FCPX, Phantom floating between keyframes.

    Hi,
    I have been a fan on FCPX but I have to say now I am using it to make simple animations on a tight deadline it is REALLY stressing me out. Ok so there is a glitch I cannot fix and here is an example.
    (it does not matter fs this is on Text, and image or anything else)
    So I may want to make a bit of text shoot out of frame to the right, this is what happens (in this example say the text is 104 frames long)
    Key frame A (at say frame 0) possition full left of screen
    Key frame B (at say frame 100)possition still at full left of screen nothing has changed.
    Key rame C ( at frame 104) possition off screen all the way to the right.
    Ok now here is where the problem is and please note for this to happen I dont even have to make keyframe C..... So now between keyframes A&B the text will float the the right and then float back to the left but there are no keyframes or anything else telling it to move.
    WHAT IS GOING ON???
    This has been happing everytime I try to animate anything and I have no answers, put two key frames down with no changes and the element will just float around between those keyframes for no  reason.
    Any help apreciateds.
    Thank
    Robin

    I was seeing this yesterday. Its to do with how FCPX is interpolating the data between the two keyframes. In this case it thinks it wants to ease in and out from the two values, even though the values are the same, this is why you get the spurious motion between the two keyframes. In Motion you would simply bring uo the keyframe editor and set the interpoltion to linear. I couldnt find a way to do this in FCPX.
    The way round it in this case was to get rid of the last keyframe so it stopped all the stupid unwatned movement. Then blade the clip in half and then animate the second clip as needed. Drove me crazy for a bit.

  • .mov file does not display on the web-site

    iWeb is easy to use but my simply link to a .mov file does not work. I am working on the Domain file on my Desktop so I can move it between computers, and it renames the media file in the inspector from name.mov to name-1.mov. In the end the site does not display the animation.

    Are you linking to this file so that it can be downloaded from your website?

  • Magic mouse swipe between pages not working "only" in finders and preferences

    Hi community,
    I'm a new comer in this mac world like I just bought it less than a month ago and I'm already having trouble with it.
    My apple magic mouse cannot swipe between pages "only" in finder and preferences. I mean it works perfectly fine with Safari and stuff but when it comes to finder, I cannot move between folders by swiping with one finger. Ironically, it works fine if I change it to two finger swipe option by sacrificing 'Swipe between full-screen app' feature as it uses two fingers. Apple customer support that I talked to could not figure it out and I'm hoping to find answers here. I mean it's really awkward as it works with two fingers but not with one finger. Plus, one finger swipe works fine in Safari and other apps.
    I did what I can - restarting, -switch on and off the mouse, - PRAM reset, - trying in serfdom, -remove and pair up again the mouse, -run repair permission in disk utility.
    I use Mac Mini late 2014 with Yosemite 10.10.1 and this just happened all of sudden.
    Please help!!

    Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

    Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

    1. You have allowed Apple to auto-upgrade your Mac
    Turn off auto-update here:
    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > App Store
    2. The Icons on your dock are Aliases not real apps
    They point to where the apps really are which is:
    For Pages 5.2.2 in your Applications folder
    For Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder
    3. You are alternately opening documents randomly with either version of Pages
    Both Pages have the same file extension .pages and there is no certainty as to which version opens them when you double click on a file.
    right click on the file and choose which version you want to open it
    4. Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files
    Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, and will convert and change Pages '09 and Word files.
    It will also auto save opened files into its own format.
    You can export these back to Pages '09 if you need to:
    Menu > File > Export > Pages '09
    5. Yes Pages 5.2.2 is a marked downgrade
    Pages 5.2.2 has a few improvements but has had over 110 features removed and is buggy.
    Sooner or later you will not be able to open a file or have it damaged in some way and it has a complex obscure file format largely incompatible with everything else, so you will not be able to rescue the contents of your file. If Pages or some third party server/eMail don't trash your file, eventually Apple will do it for you as it did when it released Pages 5 last September. I recommend using Pages '09 for the time being whilst you look for viable alternatives, some are here already and some are on the way.

  • Movement types data not capturing from BW cube data load

    Dear Experts,
    We are supporting BPC 10.0 Netweaver consolidation activities.
    As a part of the monthly consolidation, we are loading the ECC data available in the BW cubes into BPC.
    0FIGL_C10 cube: From this standard cube we are capturing the movement types (i.e, transaction type details) for the balance sheet items. So opening minus closing should be equal to the movement types.
    ZFIGl_CA10  : From this cube the YTD closing balances of the balance sheet items are captured.
    Opening balances are copied from the last period of the previous year through balance carry forward.
    For a balance sheet itens, we are getting the F99 closing balances correctly captures.
    But, the movement types are not getting captured correctly and the difference between the (opening + movements) - closing is sitting the controls.
    I have tried to check ECC data for these accounts in FS10N and 0FIGL_C10. The monthly data is all flowing properly. But when coming into BPC movement type alone has the problem.
    The transformation and conversion has all worked fine time June 2014 but July 2014 it has incorrect figures.
    No modifications are done for both the file.
    Please find the below attached screen shot and kindly help me on the same.
    Regards,
    Shilpa

    Hi Shilpa,
    I had the same problem in mi last consolidation implementation and the solution in this case was
    implement all the data flow for the 0FI_GL_014,

  • How to move a keyframe from a Motion Tween in Flash CS4

    I understand that motion tween is a new form of tween in CS 4 however  I am unable to move a keyframe within the time line? am I missing something? I would hope I could select the keyframe (diamond  shape) and move it around the timeline but apprently Im missing something.. I am not able to do a cut and copy either... is this normal behavior?
    thanks
    cheers
    stephan

    Thank you so much for getting back to me so quick. Work is chaotic right now or I would have replied sooner.
    Anyway, my lines aren't actually 3D at all. Everything, including the box, are 2D. But that does give me an idea, once I'm more proficient in Flash if I decide to make this animation even better in the future.
    I attached a screenshot of my homepage. You'll see a set of lines on the left side that surround a square with Sarah Knouse LeCroy inside. (That square is what I was referring to as a 'box'...probably not a good description.) I want that square to move down to the bottom left corner when you click on Portfolio, Contact or Resume. As it moves, I want the lines to collapse and fold together so that it looks like they're all neatly getting 'packed away' so that all that's left when viewing, say Portfolio, is an empty page with the square down in the lower left corner.
    What is the best way to animate those lines in CS4? Most of the lines do not need to stay connected to the square as it's moving so I think I can just do a Classic tween for those. But the 3 diagonal ones DO need to stay connected to the box as it's moving. I was doing a motion tween and rotating/elongating each line in sections but they still didn't match up exactly in some places during the move. When I would try to go back and adjust a position I had set, it would just pop right back to the original position.
    The last problem I'm having is an issue with getting this animation to play only when you leave the homepage and click to Portfolio, Contact or Resume.
    But don't want to overwhelm so just answer what you have time for! Later, I could attach my main timeline so that you could see what I already have set up.
    Thanks so much!

  • Dent/dip in motion graph between keyframes

    I've noticed that ever since upgrading to AE7, I occasionally get this strange dip/dent in the line/curve between keyframes that I can't seem to get rid of.
    Commonly, it occurs like this:
    I set a keyframe at the first frame, then move the layer/item and set another keyframe at (say) frame 30. Everything's fine... Then I move to (say) frame 40, move the item, and set a keyframe. When I look at the graph, rather than the usual line going from one keyframe to the other, I have a kink/dent in the line going from keyframe 2 and 3, as if a keyframe of a different value was place in between the two keyframes.
    I've tried toggling linear/bezier interpolation, and even removed and redid each of the keyframes, yet nothing gets rid of the kink.
    Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone know why this is happening? This has prevented me from finishing even simple animations, because there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it.
    I never had this problem with previous versions, so I'm really puzzled by what is causing this. Just 3 keyframes, and it does it... nothing else complex or unusual.

    I think what you're talking about is bounce or rebound. If you change the spatial interpolation from bezier or auto bezier to linear the bounce will go away. You can't change spatial interpolation directly in the timeline graph editor. You change it by going to Keyframe Interpolation by right clicking (or Control + click on a one button mouse mac) on your selected keyframes in the timeline window and picking Keyframe Interpolation or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl/Cmnd + Alt/Option + K, or by going to Animation>Keyframe Interpolation from the menu bar.
    While the graph editor will give you an indication of the position of the layer, you can only manipulate the time values in the Timeline Window. In the Composition window, you can only adjust the spatial (position, rotation) property. If you look closely at the keyframes in the Composition window before you change spatial interpolation, you'll see bezier handles on the path. They are really difficult to see on a straight path, but they are there. Changing Spatial Interpolation to linear will get rid of these handles, but you can also do it manually by holding down the G key while hovering close to the motion path and when the cursor changes to an open arrow you grab the path bezier handle and drag it to the keyframe.
    Hope this helps. It's a rather common problem that's easily solved once you realize that you're adjusting the when in the timeline and the where in the comp window.

  • How to apply saturation filter between keyframes only?

    Hi,
    I have a bunch of old home videos that look bleached, I mean flat colours. It's the camera that causes this (it's a cheap camera). So I found a filter in Premiere that I can use to adjust saturation:
    * Fast Color Corrector
    Now I can only apply this filter to the entire clip. However, some parts of the clip need different settings than others, so I tried to use key frames but that's not going to fly with this filter. It makes sense because it's called "Fast Color Corrector". However, I haven't found a filter that allows me to adjust saturation for individual parts of the clip between key frames.
    Where should I look?
    Thanks.

    If the other two suggestions do not help you, rather than apply between Keyframes, you can also cut the Clip (Razor Tool) and apply where needed. If you need the "ramping" effect of the Fast Color Corrector, then just add a Cross-Dissolve. This works for other non-Keyframable Effects in many cases.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] You might want to Alt-click the Video to unlink it from your Audio, when using the Razor Tool. No sense in cutting your Audio too - in a very few instances, this can cause little "pops" in the Audio.

  • Motion 5 audio keyframe not rendering

    Hi All,
    I have a project in which I'm using keyframes to control audio level.  The first two keyframes work ( level goes from normal to -18 ).  The keyfrmames near the end do not work ( level goes back up to normal for a few seconds, then down to -96 for a fadeout effect ).
    It sounds fine in Motion, but when I export to Movie it does not render.
    I've already trashed the prefs.
    Any help appreciated - Vijay

    Audio in Motion has always been a bit iffy - I would do your audio editing elsewhere, like STP or FCP. Then bring it into Motion. Or try exporting audio only, if that works, bring in the movie and replace the audio.

  • Use Tab to move between adjustment brush settings

    This is my second request (in no particular order) related to better keyboard navigation in the develop module (see also Snap exposure adjustment to round number and Tab between panels in develop).
    My preferred way to work through the develop panel is to [Tab] and  [Shift]+[Tab] through the adjustments and use the up and down arrows (and occasionally the number pad) to  make changes, adding the shift key for large changes.
    Unfortunately, this does not work for moving between fields in either the adjustment brush settings or the graduated filter settings. Instead, moving between settings requires using the mouse to move between each field. I'd really like to be able to use the same keyboard shortcuts throughout the entire develop module.
    Thanks!

    I just double-checked, using and LR 3.2 on Win7 x64, pressing [Tab] cycles from the last field in a panel back to the first field in the same panel (e.g. Saturation to WB), rather than to the next panel (e.g. Saturation to Highlights), which would be my preferred behaviour. Seems strange that this behaviour would be different between platforms, but it gives me hope that Adobe would be open to changing the Windows version's behaviour.
