Manual Roughing

For manual roughing, you move through the shot and periodically re-set the position of the curve. By starting at the ends, and then successively correcting the position at the most extremely-wrong positions within the shot, usually this isn’t too time consuming (unless the shot is a jumpy hand-held one). SynthEyes splines the control point positions over time.

To re-set the curve, you can drag the entire curve into an approximate position, then adjust the control points as necessary. If you find you need additional control points, you can shift-click within the curve to create them.

You should monitor the control point density so that you don’t bunch many of them in the same place. But you do not have to worry about control points “chattering” in position along the curve. This will not affect SynthEyes or the resulting flex.
