Keyframing Motion Paths in
the Timeline Viewer
If you’re keyframing a clip’s transform controls to create motion, a motion path appears when
you turn on the onscreen transform controls using the button to the left of the
transport controls.
A visible motion path resulting from animated Position X and Y parameters
Each keyframed change to the Position X and Y parameters creates a control point on the
surface of the motion path, which is linear by default, creating a sharp edge. However, you can
right-click any control point and choose Smooth from the contextual menu to add Bezier
handles to that control point, which let you change the sharp angle to an adjustable curve.
Changing the linear control point into a Bezier curve
The control points making up any motion path can be dragged around at will to change the
path the selected clip will travel. Dots on the surface of the motion path indicate the velocity of
motion; dots that are closer together indicate slower motion, while dots that are farther apart
indicate faster motion. Dragging a motion path control point farther away from another one will
speed up the animation between both points, while dragging it closer will slow the animation
down, as you’re setting up the selected clip to travel a longer or shorter distance within the
same keyframed time.
