Moving position keys with trajectories

“

- [Voiceover] To conclude our chapter on keyframe animation let's look at this really cool technique to adjust the position keys interactively in the view port. It's called, trajectories. It only works for position transforms. I've got some position keys on my camera here, let's maximize that top view with Alt + W. And we want to go over to the motion panel, and within that motion panel we can click on the trajectories button, and now we can see the trajectories parameters. And if we get it real close here, we will see some white dots. Each one of those white dots is a frame in our animation. And take a look at this. Notice that close to the ends of the animation the dots are closer together. And then here in the middle, they're farther apart. And that's because each one of these dots indicates the same period of time, of one frame, or in this case, 1/30 of a second. And the object is moving more slowly here at the beginning and faster here at the middle, because we've animated it…
