Not able to assign a Shortcut to easing anymore (custom or classic) - CC

[nielsbeekes]

Hi guys,

We recently jumped over from CC 2015.1 to CC 2018. (2015.2 and up have a pivot point bug but we decided to work around it because the update looks worth it).

The following is based on Easing in Classic Tweens:

Now in CS6 and CC 2015.1 we assigned a short cut to "Ease -100", "Ease 0" and "Ease 100". You couldn't assign a shortcut to Custom Eases, but that's fine. We did this by selecting the ease from our History Panel and setting it as a command. Assign a shortcut to it and done. One button press for -100, 0 and 100 which are most used.

When we try to do the same in Animate CC 2018 it does show up correctly in the History Panel, but when set as a command it does nothing when that command is being run. Or at least not when coming from an ease that is not a classic tween.

So what we found out is that when set to "classic tween", the -100, 0 and 100 commands work. But once a Ease was selected like Ease In Out Quad, it suddenly does nothing. Only when you remove and apply the classic tween again will it work again.

Does anyone have experience with this? A workaround? Because it's incredibly tedious to apply each tween by going through a few clicks instead of pressing an assigned button.

Cheers,

Niels

A bit more advanced:

I found a bit more out about what command Animate CC does when selecting each Ease

Each easing step has three parameters:

Example: fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setFrameProperty('tweenEasing', 5, 1, 0);

-The first number I'm not sure what that means.

-The second number seems to be the number that belongs to an ease.

    -2 = no easing

    -1 = classic easing

    0 = quad ease in

    1 = quad ease out

    2 = quad ease in/out

-The third number seems to be 5 wherever, except with classic tween. Then it can be -100 to 0 to 100.

This means that when selecting something like Ease In/Out Quad, while the timeline is still set to Classic Ease, it will always set the classic ease to 5, instead of Easy Ease Quad or whatever you select that isn't a classic tween.

Same for the other way around. It seems that when you have a Easy Ease Quad (or whatever that is not Classic Ease) it will not do anything when you run a command for classic tween. It will simply ignore it. You will have to remove the tween, set the tween again so it resets to a classic ease. And then the command for -100/100/0 will work.

Hope any of this makes sense. But it's really grinding my gears and it will be very tedious for us to work with 2018 if we can't assign easing to shortcuts...

Hi,

We are already tracking this internally and will let you know once the fix is available. Thanks!

Thank you. Do you think it will be available in the next update? If so, do you have an expected release date for this update? (Or working commands files before that? )

I'd like to know how your tweens are getting set to non-classic ease types in the first place.
