Arrow animation tilts at the end of the animation path

Hi forum.

 

I have an animation of a line with the arrow following the path. All is fine, until the end of the animation path, where the arrrow head tilts. I have uploaded the file if someone wants to take a closer look at it, and give some feedback why this is happening.

 

Thank you.

All you have to do is select the last keyframe in the motion path, Right Click, or use the Animation menu or the keyboard shortcut Alt/Option Ctrl/Cmnd K to open Keyframe Interpolation and set Spatial Interpolation to Linear.

With no motion/ path there is no direction to determine. It's as simple as that. You need to add some keyframing to pin the arrowhead or use a different technique entirely.
