Easing keyframes
Easing keyframes is the easiest way to start playing around with temporal interpolation, because when you play with easing, as we will see in this movie, After Effects kind of does the work for you. I am going to go back to this Explore California logo, and it's really cool. We animated it, all great and everything. But now that we know a little bit more about temporal interpolation, we could start to see that this is a little bit robotic. Everything kind of animates on a very linear way. In other words, the motion, the velocity is constant. There is no change in speed as we saw with that cool arrow in the last movie. So, what we are going to do is we are going to this hill and we are going to make it so that it comes on little bit faster and then slowly comes to a stop. So, we are going to go to the Front Hill layer-- that's layer 8-- and push U. That's the keyboard shortcut to reveal all the keyframes. And that will show us our two keyframes. Now, when you see the keyframes that are…
