<p>Yes, do it as one effect and use the graph editor to use a non-linear curve.  You can alter the curve to respond however you'd like then.</p>

yup, I agree, a powerful tool (the visual graph) that allows to add believable motion and scaling to objects. I usually overshoot and wobble/swing my effects before stopping it.

<p>I have an image in After Effects that is slowly growing. After 5 seconds, I want the image to quickly grow. When I do this however, using 2 transition effects, the 'joint' at which the 2 transition animations connect looks a bit odd, because there is this sudden change in the velocity of the speed it's growing at. </p>

<p>Is there a way to have it interpolate between these 2 effects so it seems like the transition/scaling has a smooth increase in speed? </p>

Are you simply scaling the image up? Can you add a screen shot of your timeline?

# Interpolate Effects in After Effects

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-01-30)

I have an image in After Effects that is slowly growing. After 5 seconds, I want the image to quickly grow. When I do this however, using 2 transition effects, the 'joint' at which the 2 transition animations connect looks a bit odd, because there is this sudden change in the velocity of the speed it's growing at.

Is there a way to have it interpolate between these 2 effects so it seems like the transition/scaling has a smooth increase in speed?
