Jumpy Animation

[peadarotuathail]

I am completely new to AE and need some help with my animated logo if someone could help me out. The animation is a logo reveal where the logo is revealed slowly. My issue is that it isn't 100% smooth. It seems to hop and stop a bit at a few locations throughout.

I've atatched a link to download the file below.

Thanks so much!

Show us screenshots of the motion path and graph editor. It's unlikely that anyone will fix your project for you, but we can always advise based on what we see.

You have to include your assets to the download - I just see missing files.

But I see linear keyframes, which might already be the issue. Learn a bit about easing in AE.

Also, a smooth animation is all about timing. Combine fast motion with slow motion, as a general rule of thumb.

An finally, have those in mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_basic_principles_of_animation

The first problem I see is that you did not import your AI file as a composition retaining layer sizes. I can tell that by the missing folder.

The second problem, 2000 X 2000 is not a standard video frame size so rendering and sharing will be a problem.

The third problem is that the speed of all 3 animated brush different. If this was my project I would probably convert the vector layers to shape layers, combine them in a single layer, then use Trim Paths on the whole group to create one simple animated path that I could use as a track matte to reveal the logo as a separate file. The whole workflow doesn't make much sense to me.
