We've all been there: you want a layer to move around, stay still, then move again. But when the layer is supposed to stay still, it drifts around randomly before returning to its starting point. It's frustrating, to say the least. This is a result of After Effects assuming it knows better than you. Don't let After Effects tell you what you want. It's time you understood what Spatial Interpolation is and how to keep After Effects in check.

That Jake panel for your video clips. Just genius. 🧠

[@JakeInMotion]

i can hook u up bro, lmk

[@caprisanh2845]

This is an amazing explanation for something I always struggled with. Also that shirt is absolutely amazing.

[@davidp158]

Yes, very cool shirt!

[@stefanieandersen]

Awesome tutorial! I'd love to learn advanced camera moves like the one you showed in the last example. I took your 3D class on Skillshare, which really helped demystify a lot of the 3D options for me. But the 3D controls in AE have changed so much since you filmed the course, it would be fantastic to see a tutorial dedicated to moving a camera through a scene (or multiple scenes) in an interesting way using motion paths, velocity changes, etc. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with the community!

[@ArisMelachroinos]

It would be great if you could explain the types of color spaces on AE, what is a workspace color space, what is linearize, how do we work in different scenarios etc.

[@Zicer100]

Thanks a lot!! I struggle with the issue a couple of times, I used unnecessary precomps, nulls, double layers, cause I thought I would loose the easing using a hold frame. Now I see how you can do it. I would be nice having a 3D tutorial explaining how you made that last scene ;)

[@jonharrington2770]

So much time I've spent going frame by frame to move those assets back into their spot. Never again!! Thank you so much, Jake!

[@trevorwoodco]

This is one of my top pet peeves about after effects.

[@valthvisuals]

[@prodbyprodby1633]

Your keyframing videos are criminally underrated. Huge thanks yet again, Jake!

[@travezripley]

Jake in Motion, explaining smooth as lotion.

[@adarshamos6319]

Was struggling with this for so long! Now I know know why. Didn't even know this was a thing. Thank you so much Jake! SO detailed!

[@taigah1299]

Been a trouble for me to learn ever since I started using AE and boi was I glad to finally understand it! Funny, I have been only turning the keyframe interpolation back to linear to solve that problem...so thank you for sharing the knowledge.

[@MrGxmxe]

Thank you so much! I've been looking for an explanation for this forever!

[@DarrenMichael70]

I've been looking for a solution to this all day. Moving and pausing an object on motion path yet the paused motion is moving all over the place. I knew it was something to do with the spatial interpolation yet other videos didn't quite cover exactly what I needed. Within the first forty seconds of your video I had solved the issue. Thanks man, appreciate your work.

[@PotentialPictures99]

It's the little things that really count. Thank you Jake!!!

[@TheMaicul]

Had no idea that linear interpolation could be set by default! Amazing tip :)

[@ahmedsuleiman1130]

A solid one, Jake. Thanks always.

[@meditationspace2023]

Thanks I was just working on the a mouse click, super helpful and now I understand spatial interpolation

[@wabazuza]

You dropped this 👑, king.

[@methodLDZ]

Thank you so much, great explanation.

[@benmunyemana9154]

Jake you’re the best

[@ultravioletidea]

Great info! Easy to understand, but no corners were cut. Thanks!

[@rufustangen]

Never thought of the toggle hold keyframe, thank you!

[@visualsbyorion]

The layers drifting has been annoying the living crap outta me. Thanks to you I understand why it happens and how I can fix it :)

[@Kochaan]

Great shirt!

[@SalymGuer]

I don't know if it was mentionned before or not, but nice match between the video and the shirt !

[@citybeats7532]

Recently found your channel, digestible contents 👌🏼

[@coop567coop]

Oh! The most useful after effects video!!! The amount of times this has affected my work and i've filled the gap with the same keyframe copied and pasted haha

[@NikiWinProd]

a thing that i like to do (that removes the need of temporal and spatial easing) is just making linear keyframes (and spatial) and just apply the smooth expression i dont have much control tho, but it looks very nice.

[@typical-wizard]

Wow, that preference setting change is huge - no more randomly wiggling keyframes by default!

[@ST290i]

Love your videos. Didn't know there was a general prefrence to keep the interpolation linear. Once again a small but effective timesaver. Since I am playing around with expressions a lot and your videos helped a great deal to understand them better, I was wondering whether you could make a tutorial on valueAtTime()? Cheers

[@songkanghua7762]

谢谢你 让我在知识泛滥的年代 看到最精华的教程

[@jesssejohnson]

Hey Jake, been following you for a while now. Been learning so much from you thanks! I wanted to ask about camera control. The last bit in your video was super cool with the 3D camera. Would love to know how you set that up and how 3D camera's work, Feel like I never use it but want to. I am missing out.

[@elen68]

God sent you to me. KZbin god, I mean. Thank youuuuu!!! ❤

[@kumar7699]

I love all your videos, and it's very educational for me so far. I will love to know more about the camera, so can you explain more about how to use a 3d camera in adobe after effcts.

[@VishalHazarika08]

Super Jake, i was wondering if you have a playlist of getting started with Ae or something similar.

[@KingTuttanKamon]

Love u

[@MographChamp]

wish I could send these videos back in time to myself circa 2011. I forward a lot of these vids to Jr Designers I work with who are learning & working in AE.

[@GuidoGautsch]

Yes! Thank you for this - I really need to learn all the different types of keyframes and when to use them. Have you already made a video about that?

[@JakeInMotion]

Not yet, but thanks for the idea!

[@GuidoGautsch]

@@JakeInMotion no worries! Looking forward to it! You already have the wardrobe for it 😁

[@SpaceGhostNZ]

Dude your videos are the best! Speaking of Hold Keyframes, could you do a video on the different types of keyframe, like I have no idea what the round icon keyframe is

[@JakeInMotion]

That's a great idea for a video, thanks!

[@vervalkon]

I always separate dimensions, but for whatever dumb reason Adobe never implemented the functionality to the Anchor Point proprety (or any 2D/3D property besides Position, for that matter) This helped a lot.

[@kfxanimation]

I Want that shirt!!!!

[@thatdiyguyraymondmonk1225]

Yes, drawing lines around the comp… like if you are doing a maze puzzle… it’s driving me crazy….

[@karofkartof7272]

Can I put your YT channel on my CV under Education? I freaking love your channel

[@ihajo]

I am always looking to get the least amount of plugins/extensions in After Effects, can you please share a video with your top ones that you use on a daily basis

[@vamboo8918]

Cool

[@bigx6670]

Where exactly are you getting these "Keyframe Tee'"?

[@seant2432]

As always, excellent work. Here's something I'd like to learn more about. Is this too much of a deep dive though? It's related to this video because I have developed the habit of separating all my dimensions to avoid this error. "array piece can't expand to more than one value". I just tried to recreate it simply with x = thisComp.width; [x,value,value] . I'm perplexed. My x variable is one value, and it is in the spot in the final array for one value. I don't understand why that doesn't work, which tells me I'm misunderstanding something fundamental about how this works. And then sometimes a different expression (which seems fundamentally the same to me) ends up working.

[@fadialameer3401]

Hello Jack. How can we get the texture looper script?

[@cordelringani7429]

Whoa! I never knew about spatial interpolation. Thank you for always schooling us. By the way, how much do you want for that shirt? 😁😏

[@JakeInMotion]

@@JakeInMotion Oh sweet! Thanks bro. I didn't know you had merch. I'm definitely spoiling myself ☺️ Thanks again.

[@andres160982]

can I install and use the sammich without K-bar?

[@karolisputnikas7327]

Is it correct for stating, that temporal interpolation is for speed graph and spatial interpolation for value graph?

[@ArmageddonPunk]

Took me a while to understand your..T.Shirt

[@JakeInMotion]

[@imiy]

still dont get it why that happens at the first place

[@Abdo.A]

Still does not get why it drift? What happens in the spatial interpolation that makes it do that? Also have a question regarding the 3d camera. When you fly your camera around and always changing the position, you will have to reposition every 3d layer you bring into the comp, how do you work around that?

[@JakeInMotion]

The drift comes from After Effects automatically adding in bezier handles to the motion path for that keyframe. Since both keyframes have identical position values, the bezier handles make the interpolated frames move away from that position. As for the 3D scene, I just have two comp views open at the same time. One for the active camera and one for another view like "Top". That way I can pan around, zoom in and out and reposition things from another angle.

[@Abdo.A]

@@JakeInMotion Thanks for explaning. For the 3d part, I meant to ask if there is a way to place your 3d objects in the new 3d camera position where you point of interset is looking now? Coz other wise you will have to reposition every layer in 3d to get in the right place.

[@JakeInMotion]

You can always copy the point of interest value and paste it on the position of the layer you're placing.

[@einzelbild_TM]

Can I get the keyframe shirt in Europe?

[@JakeInMotion]

I believe so!

[@joeykorenman]

5:44 Tempura Interpolation... mmmm, delicious.

[@mooncatcher_]

You can tell its a filler video when the menu goes off screen. I guess you were rushing it? Take some rest, we all will be here when you come back, don't worry

[@JakeInMotion]

Ouch.
