Hi everyone, I have a couple problems with changing the path from linear to curve and was hoping someone had some advice on how to solve it,

1. Can I mix a path to go from straight to curved? It seems like when changing a keyframe from straight to curved it changes all the other keyframes as well.

2. Every-time I create a path thats curved it seems like the prop or character can't stay in one place but rather makes a circle before continuing on the to the next keyframe placement. It almost looks likea little knot or circle if that makes sense. How do I fix that?

Appreciate any help I can get on this.

Cheers

This is my testing, using the curve path to adjust the transition path.
