Creating a bounce or intense peak

Use direction handles to simulate the type of acceleration seen in a bouncing ball. When you create this type of effect, the Speed or Velocity graph appears to rise quickly and peak.

To create a bounce or peak:

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. Make sure the interpolation method for the keyframe you want to peak is set to Continuous Bezier or Bezier. (See Changing the interpolation method.)
3. At the desired keyframe, drag the direction handle up until it is near the top of the graph.
