Adjusting the interpolation between keyframes

Applying auto ease

If the interpolation between keyframes is not fluid, the aircraft cannot run on that path.
Applying auto ease smooths out the interpolation between keyframes—from acceleration to deceleration—and corrects it so that the aircraft can run on that path.
If ease has been applied to a keyframe, you can use the handles to adjust the interpolation between keyframes.

Keyframe and handle operations

OperationImageWhat to do
