And you'll see that the keyframes disappear. And so it stops jumping about and then it just kind of hangs. So I haven't got it jumping about, that's much better. Downside though, is I can't actually move that now. So if I wanted to swing the arm back and forth, I can do it with this one but I can't do it with that one.
