Acceleration Curve
The acceleration curve, located to the left of the Effect Viewer, is used for defining the rate of
change between two Key Frames. Clip images are interpolated based on the set curve. The x-axis
of the grid represents time; the y-axis, change.
For example...
page 11-78
Linear acceleration page 11-79
Splined acceleration page 11-80
Default acceleration curve page 11-81
Accelerate - decelerate page 11-83
Acceleration range page 11-84
For Example...
For example, you have an effect with two Key Frames. The first Key Frame is called KF1; the sec-
ond, KF2. To keep things simple, the only difference between KF1 and KF2 is the color of the
clips’ borders: With KF1, the image has a red border, while with KF2 it has a blue border.
The beginning of the effect is represented by KF1 (red border). KF1’s values are positioned at the
bottom left-hand corner of the grid. KF2’s values are in the top right-hand corner (blue border).
The horizontal axis between KF1 and KF2 is the time axis; the vertical axis represents the change
in the effect, in this case, the color of the border.
