So I'm working on this little logo fly-by animation. An Entertainment Tonight type of thing. Do a low, close fly over, then pull back and up until the logo is centered in the frame. I set the motion on my camera to motion path. Drew a line across the top of the logo, extended it into a curve up over the center of the logo. Moved the current frame to the center of my animation, put the motion path progress at about half way. Now to take care of aiming the camera: Go to the center key frame. Attempt to change the rotation on the camera using the rotation tool. Nothing. Hmmm... Try to enter the value directly. What!? The camera jumps to the beginning of the motion path? And thus began a wrestling match with Motion Paths that I've finally given up on. The primary issue seems to be that transforms are applied to the camera, but no transform key frames appear in the timeline. If I close and re-open the .car file, the key frames appear. Then the camera started jumping to the end of the motion path in the middle of the animation even though it was set to be in the center. Aarrgh!!! Anyone else have nightmares using motion paths? It really just seems so totally broken I can't understand what's happening. - Jasen.
