An overshoot curve can go past the ending value before settling. A windup can move behind the starting value first. Curvy has starter favorites for both.
The card keeps the curve you asked for, including the part outside the start and end values.
After Effects treats unseparated Position as travel along a spatial path. Curvy holds that application inside the start and end values so it can still reach the next key.
Separate and apply again
- Select the Position keys you want to ease.
- Choose an overshooting curve, then click Apply if needed.
- Click the Separate offer that appears on Apply.
Curvy separates Position into X Position and Y Position, plus Z Position for a 3D layer. It then applies the held curve to those selected dimension keys. The message Separated Position, so the curve lands as drawn confirms the operation.
The separation and second application form one undo step. Undo that step to restore unseparated Position with the earlier, constrained application.
Choose when separation makes sense
Use separate dimensions when you want each coordinate to follow the value curve. Separating a curved spatial move can change the path between keys. Check the composition after separating.
For a move whose spatial path must stay intact, keep Position unseparated and use a curve without overshoot. Curvy’s normal application preserves spatial tangents.
The Separate offer is for a layer’s Transform Position. Other spatial properties also receive the constrained curve but do not get this offer. Already separated Position behaves as individual values and can take overshoot directly.
