Changing speed numerically


    You may want to specify speed more precisely than you can by dragging ease handles. In such cases, specify speed numerically in the Keyframe Velocity dialog box.

    The exact options available in the dialog box vary depending on the layer property you are editing, and may also vary for plug-in effects. For each, speed is expressed as follows:

    Anchor Point and Position

    Pixels per second.

    Mask Shape

    Units per second.

    Mask Feather

    Pixels per second for both the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) dimensions.

    Scale

    Percent per second for both the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) dimensions.

    Rotation

    Degrees per second.

    Opacity

    Percent per second.

To specify speed numerically:

  1. Display the Speed graph for the keyframe you want to adjust.
  2. Select the keyframe you want to edit.
  3. Choose Animation > Keyframe Velocity.
  4. Type values for Incoming and Outgoing Velocity Speed.
  5. Type values for the following options, and then click OK:
    • Influence specifies the amount of influence toward the previous keyframe (for incoming interpolation) or the next keyframe (for outgoing interpolation).
    • Continuous creates a smooth transition by maintaining equal incoming and outgoing velocities.
