Extending the influence of an ease handle


    Along with controlling the level of acceleration and deceleration, you can also extend the influence of a keyframe outward or inward in relation to an adjacent keyframe. Influence determines how quickly the Speed graph reaches the speed you set at the keyframe, giving you an additional degree of control over the shape of the graph.

    As you adjust an ease handle, the effects of the change are visible in the Speed graph and in the motion path in the Composition window.

To adjust the influence of an ease handle on the previous or next keyframe:

  1. In the Timeline window, expand the outline for the keyframe you want to adjust. Then click the triangle to the left of the property to display the Speed graph or the Velocity graph.
  2. At the desired keyframe, drag the ease handle left or right.
