How to insert pause moving of an object in an animation

How to insert pause moving of an object in an animation

Let's say I have a parameter that goes from 0 to 1 in the timeline and I want to have a camera move, stand still for a while and then continue to move.

Like this:

Frame 1 to 9: Value = 0-0.5
Frame 10 to 50: Value = 0.5 (shall be constant for these frames)
Frame 51 to 90: Value = 0.5-1

Here is a recording of the issue:

I have set 4 recording points for the camera position whereas the two points in the middle store the same value. However, the camera is moving back and forth.

How can I make the object stand still inmid of the animation?
 
Camera stop

Hi bartelsmedia.
Hope this will be helpful

1) Set layout to: Animation
2-3) Select the two middle aries ( to be set “paused”)
4) Right click in the key editor, and set the Tangent to Linear

there you go... :smile:

Hi Teddy.
Check out for the F-Curve-Editor. Will give you a better visual feedback on your tangents. ;)

Cheers
Frank

I also found the F-Editor now. However, there is one major headache:

The actual value changes are *very* small which makes adjusting the curves impossible. Is there any zoom function for the F-Editor?
 
Aahh, I need to toggle off unused parameters in the left pane of the F-Editor to get a better view. :)
