Flipping keyframes

[Grace Fandrich]

Hello! I hope you are doing well. 
I am at the last stage of the animation and i seem to have hit a road block. 
I was following your steps and copied and flipped the keyframes so that the head turns back. But as soon as soon as I try to put the keyframes together for a smooth right and left, my robot head starts to glide weirdly… 
I’ll attach videos in hopes that you can help me troubleshoot this.

You need to remove the keyframes from the Root first. If that doesn’t fix it. Let us know.

[Wayne Dixon]

Yep – looks like there’s some accidental animation on the root control.

Good luck with the Health assessment….Although I don’t know if that your’s or your friend’s.
Either way – good luck.

I deleted the key frames for root and that hasn’t fixed it unfortunately. Any other ideas by chance? I am so sorry

[Wayne Dixon]

Don’t be sorry Grace.  You are learning.

As your root is rotating back, the Head is counter animating.
Hopefully you can see that in the Graph editor.
If not, just submit your exercise with a link to your file and I will show you

Thank you, here is a google drive link to the file. Torque_HeadTurn

Thank you so so much Wayne! Thank you for taking the time to create a video for me to fix my problem (and also teaching me how to properly export my blender file)! 

[Wayne Dixon]

No problem Grace!
Learning stuff is fun.
