If you=E2=80=99re animating position then it can help to = separate dimensions, so you can individually smooth out movement in each = axis.

If = you=E2=80=99re animating the position of an effect parameter and you = can=E2=80=99t seperate dimensions, then animate a null object instead = and then pick whip the effect to the null.

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.
