Changing the interpolation curve between keyframes
The interpolation curve determines the rate of animation between two keyframe settings.
For event pan/crop and track motion keyframes, the color of the keyframe indicates which interpolation
curve is being used.
Command Description Looks Like
Linear Effect parameters are interpolated in a linear path.
Fast Effect parameters are interpolated in a fast logarithmic path.
Slow Effect parameters are interpolated in a slow logarithmic path.
Smooth Effect parameters are interpolated along a smooth, natural curve.
Sharp Effect parameters are interpolated along a sharp curve.
Hold No animation will take place. The keyframe's settings will be maintained until
the next keyframe.
In the Lanes view of the Video FX dialog or in the Pan/Crop or Track Motion dialog, you can right-click a
selected keyframe and choose a command from the shortcut menu to change the interpolation curve. The
curve type is updated for all selected keyframes.
For video effects, the line between keyframes indicates which interpolation curve is being used.
