Well, basically I'm trying to do the mustache wave from the Sam Elliott Superbowl commercial.  And each of those movements is choppy and by choppy I mean no graceful.

Any chance you can provide a reference movie of what you mean by choppy?  Are you reacting to the frame rate, perhaps?  (Like something might feel "choppy" at 24, but not at 60?)  Do you see the same thing with the various ease scripts on AEScripts?

Big, slow eases feel pretty smooth to me so I'm guessing I'm just not sure what you mean.

Hello all,

This probably seems rudimentary but I seem to have always struggled in trying to find the right way to smooth out keyframes.

Seems no matter what I use, easy easy, ease in, out, etc.  It always seems a bit choppy.  Is there some advice out there on how to tackle this?

Simple example would be animated a single line as if it were the wave you'd see at a ball game.  So every few frames the lines bends up then back down.

Appreciate some insight.  This has bugged me forever.

Eric
