In the Composition or Layer window, the spacing between dots in a motion path indicates
speed. Each dot represents a frame, based on the frame rate of the composition. Even
spacing indicates a constant speed, and wider spacing indicates a higher speed.
Keyframes using Hold interpolation display no dots because there is no intermediate
transition between keyframe values; the layer simply appears at the next keyframe's
position.
A B
A. Dots are close together, indicating slower speed.
B. Dots are far apart, indicating faster speed.
C. Inconsistent spacing of dots indicates changing speed.
To control speed between keyframes:
Use any combination of the following options:
In the Composition or Layer window, adjust the spatial distance between two
•
keyframes on the motion path. Increase speed by moving one keyframe position
farther away from the other, or decrease speed by moving one keyframe position closer
to the other.
More spatial distance between keyframes increases layer speed.
