Note:
1. In layer bar mode or in the Graph Editor, set up the keyframes for the motion you want to smooth.
2. Determine the beginning and ending keyframes for the range you want to smooth.
3. Do one of the following:
For every keyframe in the range (except the beginning and ending keyframes), select Rove Across Time in the keyframe menu .
Select the keyframes you want to rove and choose Animation > Keyframe Interpolation. Then choose Rove Across Time from the Roving
menu.
The intermediate keyframes adjust their positions on the timeline to smooth the speed curve between the beginning and ending keyframes.
Revert to a nonroving keyframe
Select the roving keyframe option from the keyframe menu, or drag the roving keyframe left or right.
Select the keyframes you want to change, and choose Animation > Keyframe Interpolation. Then choose Lock To Time from the Roving
menu.
Use Exponential Scale to change the speed of scaling
You can simulate a realistic acceleration of a zoom lens when working with 2D layers by using Exponential Scale, which converts linear scaling of
a layer to exponential scaling. Exponential Scale is useful for creating a cosmic zoom, for example. Zooming optically with a lens is not linear—the
rate of change of scaling increases as you zoom in.
1. In layer bar mode or in the Graph Editor, hold down the Shift key and select starting and ending keyframes for the scale property.
2. Choose Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Exponential Scale.
Exponential Scale replaces any existing keyframes between the selected starting and ending keyframes.
