After Effects Bezier Motion Paths - Toggle Hold Keyframe
November 12, 2009
Ever run across the issue with bezier motion paths in Adobe After Effects, where the object or camera following a path moves backwards a little bit before going forward, after a set of two identical keyframes? This is known as the Boomerang Effect in After Effects, and can happen even when you intended the object to be static by setting a sequence of two keyframes with identical position values.
Solution: Select the first set of position keyframes, right-click, and select TOGGLE HOLD KEYFRAME from the menu. You can also undo this, of course. Simply right-click and toggle it again. Another sometimes less ideal solution is to use straight motion paths.
