I am kinda frustrated with the myself because I can't seem to be able to figure out these Maya problems. One of the problems I am encountering despite following the tutorial 100% are:
1st is the bouncing ball with the rotation, once you input 70 at a keyframe, the ball doesn't rotate like is shown on the video.
2nd is the crane shot, dolly shot, and pitch shot, none of the cameras seems to be following the keyframe. the problem i am having with those tutorials is that, once you put a keyframe at 1 and another at 70 or so, the camera simply won't move from point A to B.
Where am I going wrong?... Are there any kind of tick boxes that I should be aware of?
I would greatly appreciate your help
Thanks

Hi,
Without having a closer look my guess would be that the camera problem is caused by previous setting changes made whilst doing animation tasks. For example do you still have you keys set to 'Stepped' in the preferences? If you do this will cause you key frames to act as on/ off switches - Therefore causing no movement from a to b.
Goto - Windows - Settings / Preferences - Preferences - Animation and set both tangent types to spline.
As for the bouncing ball I would need to take a closer look at the scene.
Thanks
Alan
