• In the Timeline window, adjust the time difference between two keyframes. Decrease
speed by moving one keyframe farther away from the other, or increase speed by moving
one keyframe closer to the other.
Shorter temporal distance between keyframes increases layer speed.
• Apply the Easy Ease keyframe assistant, which automatically adjusts the speed of change
as motion advances toward and retreats from a keyframe. See “Automatically easing speed
using the Easy Ease keyframe assistant” on page 221.
Fine-tuning speed
Using the Speed or Velocity graph, you can adjust motion or the rate of change for a value so
that it occurs more slowly just before or just after a keyframe, or so that a layer moves quickly
over a certain distance and then slows down smoothly. By adjusting the rise and fall of the
graph, you can control how fast or slow a value changes from keyframe to keyframe. Each
temporal interpolation method affects acceleration and deceleration differently. If you don’t
get the results you want, try a different temporal interpolation method.
