Adobe After Effects - Keyframes

Hello,

I am working with After Effects and have reviewed the New Boston tutorials but I don't see anything that addresses what I'm looking for.

Essentially, I have an object's position animated with several keyframes. Now sometimes the object moves fast, sometimes slower.

However I don't want a hard start/stop on the keyframe in between different speeds.

I've tried the easy ease, and that slows down the object to a stop, then slowly starts it up again. That's not what I'm looking for. I don't want the object to stop, I just want a smooth transition from one speed to another.

I've tried Rove Across Time, and that seems to equalize the various speeds across time. I don't want that either. I want to maintain the different speeds, just smooth them out a bit over the transitions from one speed to another.

Also Time Remapping isn't what I'm looking for because I don't want anything to go slow motion or fast motion. Rather it's a single object on the screen that goes several different speeds, and I just want the transition from one speed to another to be smoothed over a bit. Like shifting gears.

I've tried the graph editor with no success.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

Working with the graph editor a bit more seems to have done the trick.

Thanks much guys!
