In the example below, the TENSION control is increased to 1.0, so that the
Tension vector is shortened to non-existence through KF2 ( Figure 61 ). The
path enters and leaves the middle keyframe in a straight line as it takes on
an S-Linear motion; decelerating as it enters the middle keyframe and
accelerating as it leaves.

In the example below, the TENSION control has been set to -1.0. This
lengthens the Tension vector, causing the path through the middle key-
frame to be longer and broader (
Figure 62 ). The longer path will appear to
make the image speed up through KF2 as it travels from KF1 to KF3.
