<p>It's because you're not using Linear spatial interpolation on the keyframes.

<p>I'm trying to make a motion of position of shape and I'm getting next:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/TNYJn.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/TNYJn.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<p>In this frame, position getting automatically lower than I desired to. I mean, I want that the 1st keyframe to be 950 px (for example) and the 2nd ketframe to be 930px. But when I do this, automatically, the curve goes to 900px and then, from this location (circled orange in image), goes to 930px.</p>
<p>That I want to do is a transition from 950px to 930px, and not 950 to 900 and then to 930; but AE automatically creates that type of curve.</p>
<p>Why?</p>

# After effect position keyframes motion problems

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-09-07)

I'm trying to make a motion of position of shape and I'm getting next:

[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/TNYJn.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/TNYJn.png)

In this frame, position getting automatically lower than I desired to. I mean, I want that the 1st keyframe to be 950 px (for example) and the 2nd ketframe to be 930px. But when I do this, automatically, the curve goes to 900px and then, from this location (circled orange in image), goes to 930px.

That I want to do is a transition from 950px to 930px, and not 950 to 900 and then to 930; but AE automatically creates that type of curve.

Why?
