slow-motion animation effect

[Albo]

Hello, is there a way to make a slow-motion animation with no pause between one tween and the next one ?

 

In other words: if I have an animation 10 seconds long, how I should to go fast for 4 secs, slow for 2, and fast again for the last 4 seconds with no pause between each tween ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Sure, there are many ways to accomplish this. But first, can you explain what you're tweening? Is it just that you want something to move in a straight line from point A to point B over the course of 10 seconds but accelerate/decelerate along the way?

 

Have you checked out TimelineLite or TimelineMax?

I have a text that enters from left in a very fast way. One only instance therefore, that cross around 300 pixels from left to right at all speed and then it slow down drastically, but without staying, and for two seconds it continues the movement always following the same direction. After these two seconds the speed increases quickly and the text goes out of the stage.

I checked out TimelineLite and TimelineMax but really didn't discovered how to do this effect.

 

Take a look to the fla I attached.

 

Thanks.

try something like this:

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

var tl:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite({});

tl.append(TweenLite.to(mc, .8, {x:300}));
tl.append(TweenLite.to(mc, 3, {x:400, ease:Linear.easeNone}));
tl.append(TweenLite.to(mc, .5, {x:1500}));

 

*be sure you have greensock files in a com folder next to your fla

 

you may have to tweak some of the timing, but it will do what you want.

Hey, thanks!

 

With a bit of motionBlur effect it's really cool effect...

 

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;
TweenPlugin.activate([MotionBlurPlugin]);

var tl:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite({});

tl.append(TweenLite.to(mc, .3, {x:360, motionBlur:{strength:1, quality:2}, ease:Cubic.easeInOut}));
tl.append(TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {x:380, motionBlur:{strength:.1, quality:3}, ease:Linear.easeNone}));
tl.append(TweenLite.to(mc, .2, {x:800, motionBlur:{strength:2, quality:2}, ease:Cubic.easeInOut}));

Thanks again!
