Hi there! Not hyper experienced with After Effects, so simplifications will be appreciated.
I'm experiencing an issue with the Outer Glow effect in After Effects. I have a transparent rectangle where the edges are glowing using the Outer Glow effect (so essentially it looks like a glowing frame) - looks great, very happy with the aesthetic. One thing I'm experiencing though, is I'm wanting it to periodically pulse with colour, going from a bright glow and then fading to a dull one. As such I've keyframed it so that the Size and Spread of the glow alter. However, I'm finding that as the glow slowly fades, it does so in a really choppy motion, as though it goes from 100% brightness to 90% to 80% etc. without any of the fluidness in between (even though when I pause it, I can see that the keyframes are supposed hitting every 0.1% in between in the way they should normally).
I've taken a look at keyframe interpolation and tried easing in, and neither seems to have made any difference. I've also exported it and reduced quality to confirm that it's not just a playback issue. Anyone got any ideas? This feels like it should be very simple, but I can't work out what's happening. Thanks for any help!
