Change animation interpolation between keyframes

  1. Under Objects and Timeline, select a timeline from the drop-down box.
  2. Expand the object tree to locate the keyframe that you want to modify. For example, if you want to modify the animation for an entire object, select an object-level keyframe. For information about keyframe types, see Animation timelines and keyframes.
  3. On the timeline bar, select one or more keyframes Keyframe. Hold the CTRL key to select multiple keyframes. Note that selecting a simple keyframe might force the selection of keyframes higher up in the object hierarchy.
  4. Right-click one of your selected keyframes, and then select the interpolation option that you want. To add another interpolation effect, right-click and select again.
    • Ease In   The ease in value modifies how the property value changes as time approaches the keyframe. You can set the degree of ease by specifying a value between 0% (no ease) and 100% (full ease, which is half the time distance between the edited keyframe and the next keyframe).
    • Ease Out   The ease out value modifies how the property value changes as time moves away from the keyframe. You can set the degree of ease by specifying a value between 0% (no ease) and 100% (full ease, which is half the time distance between the edited keyframe and the next keyframe).
    • Hold Out   Hold out doesn’t interpolate changes over time; rather it makes an abrupt change to the new property value when the play head reaches the keyframe where the change occurs. The Hold Out effect is a toggle, so if you want to remove the effect, open the drop-down box and click Hold Out again.
    • Linear (not displayed in the drop-down list)   Linear interpolation changes the property value in equal increments between the keyframes. The interpolation between two keyframes will be linear if the Ease Out value is 0% for the first keyframe and the Ease In value is 0% for the second keyframe.
  5. Click the Play Play button button to test your animation changes.
