I want the animation of a fan not with a constant speed from 1st frame to last......,I want the animation like when we switch ons it(slow),running(speed),switch off(slow).Originally posted by Joopson
Its a fan, it takes 2 keyframes. Why not just key it again?
Seems lazy to me

thanks,but didn't catch you.......Originally posted by stwert
I know in the graph editor it is possible to select a bunch of keyframes and scale them using the scale tool and the MMB. I wonder if you could scale right to a negative value? That would give you the reverse part and you can figure out how to copy a series of keys I'm sure.
please mention briefly with simple example,if possible with screenies......

then copy all the keys, paste them after the last keyframe, then go to graph editor, select the pasted keys, move them to a little farther distance and scale them till they line up in reverse direction. then place them in desired frame gap.
downside is the gap duration maintainence..
