Fine-tuning Animation
Spatial interpolation and the motion path
When you apply or change the spatial interpolation for a property such as Position, you
adjust the motion path in the Composition window. The different keyframes on the
motion path provide information about the type of interpolation at any point in time.
Motion path interpolation A. Linear B. Auto Bezier C. Continuous Bezier D. Bezier E. Hold
Temporal interpolation and the Value graph
Using the Value graph in the Timeline window, you can make precise adjustments to
the temporal property keyframes you’ve created for your animation. The Value graph
provides complete information about and control of the value at any point in time in a
composition. The Timeline window also provides information about the speed of
changes between values (or speed along a motion path) in the Speed or Velocity
graph. See “Using the Value graph to change a layer property value” on page 210.
The Value graph appears when a nonspatial layer property contains two or more keyframes.
