I'm new to the keyframer and I am having difficulty getting it to do what I want it to do. I want the camera to dolly in a straight line between points A and C. No problem. But if I want the camera to move from point A to point B, which is directly between A and C, and then on to C, I am having great difficulty. The reason I am using three position keys is I want the camera to travel from A to B at one speed, and from B to C at a different speed. The problem is that instead of the camera doing this, the camera begins moving from A in the wrong direction, and then returns to A, and then continues on to B and C. When I examine the path, I find that it has a portion that extends beyond A, and is folded, causing the camera to initally travel in the wrong direction. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening, and how to correct it ?
