Bezier Curve Orientation

[Pitchi]

Hello, I don't know if the tool already exists but I would like to know if there is a way to automatically orient a bezier curve towards the next or previous key? In my animation, I would like to make an accelerated then linear then accelerated movement.

Thanks you

Hi Pitchi

If you like to have from the earlier Keyframe a straight line to the next Keyframe, do this:

• Select the earlier Keyframe and go to the Attribute Manager.

• Then, set this to Key Properties>Type> Linear.

Please let me know if that works for you.

All the best

Hi
I mean, I would like to have a linear movement between 2 keys while keeping the bezier curve with the handles. There a tool for this?
i made a video to explain : https://youtu.be/NTy3_2ZOUcE?si=XQGiY9UYfZg4bKIv

Thanks for the screen capture, Pitchi,

Creating a straight line between two keyframes requires setting both Bezier handles to look at each other. The path between up to four keyframes per track has changed if a keyframe existed before and after.

The option to set a Constant Velocity will not do that either.
But even after searching for a while, I could not find anything. Sorry.

If there is a plugin, I'm not aware of it.
