You're getting plenty of replies. When you get around to project in which you have time for tests, here's a technique I discovered that was too late to document. You can create a spline/path in the Shaper using the Freehand tool. When applied to an object as motion, it'll come close to imitating the velocity changes of the mouse that were used when creating the freehand spline. Of course, you can't always apply such a path directly to an object you want to animate in a scene, but you can use it on a draft object to get an idea of comparitive movement, and then imitate the timing in the Keyframer. – Jack
