In that case you should set all except the first = and last keyframe to =E2=80=9Crove across time=E2=80=9D. That = effectively tells After Effects that you want these keyframes to only = control the location of the motion path but to not affect the timing. = You can still ease the other keyframes. So if you first set all others = to =E2=80=9Crove across time=E2=80=9D and then set first and last = keyframe to =E2=80=9Cease in=E2=80=9D, you will get one continuous ease = in over the entire animation.

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.
