When creating movement of an object in the PiP editor, how do I speed up or slow down the movement of the object??

Is it by adding more Keyframes? If so do I ad more to speed up??? HELP!

Hi Jeff -

Once you've set your motion path, just slide the keyframes closer together... that will speed up the motion.

Here's a tutorial that shows some of the basics of keyframe manipulation in PiP Designer http://www.youtube.com/user/PDtoots#p/u/22/4gPt7y6ipo0

This might help too - keyframes work in much the same way in Magic Motion & other parts of PD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exuj2dhRZjY

Cheers - Tony

The closer the keyframes are, the faster the movement.

Hey Crabby!

You need to update your claw drivers. The latest ones have keyframes. You could speed up your potato peeling
