The option to have keyframes use linear spatial interpolation by default, instead of auto beizer!

I wouldn't say bezier is largely unappriciated, you can do some pretty amazing stuff by beziering an animation when you get the hang of it. Linear is of course safer and often enough get the job done, but when you have to do something really complicated the linear mode makes the movements look somewhat stiff, crude and unsmooth.

In my opinon you should be able to set the default to one or the other and to be continuely so for setting new keyframes until you change it again. The freedom of choice!

Sincerely yours, best regards and all that 🙂

That's what draws attention from the techs.

I'm likely undereducated on this front, but I have no idea why this hasn't been changed, or why anyone would want "largely unpredictable (?) bezier motion" as a default instead of "direct linear path from point A to B as indicated". Why not either make "liner" the default or at least allow us to change the setting manually? Thanks!

In general, Premiere keyframes and masks are incredibly bad compared to the ones in After Effects. I think that's a way they make people have to jump to AE when having to use any advanced property animation or masking.

its so stupid that they haven't fixed this.

Yes!

How is this still not resolved? Everyday i have to right click dozens of keyframes to choose linear. Not one of my projects has used bezier keyframes and yet that is the default. Absolutely ridiculous.

I would also love this change, having to change to linear everytime can get repetitive

Please fix this bug. We're begging it's awful.

THIS IS A MUST!! I requested this years ago, and Adobe just doesn't listen. Hopefully, they start... It's so frustrating when you create a new position keyframe.. It AUTOMATICALLY creates an auto-bezier keyframe, and you have to then select it and change it to Linear.. Makes no sense. In 20 years of editing, I have NEVER needed to use auto-bezier even once. I would rather having auto-bezier completely removed from the program if it means it's never defaulted on again....
