Animate motion with keyframes

I need this shot to move like it was handheld but controlled. Ease the speed and position keyframes on the 00:01:12 clip so the graphic follows the actor from chest to shoulder level, with no sudden jumps. Use smooth bezier interpolation, keep total travel under 120 pixels, and finish by 00:01:18 so the timing matches the cut to the next scene. Check at 100% zoom before exporting.

Before I hand this to client review, make the animated lower third easy to scan. Move the timing keyframes so the name settles by 00:00:05, surface the white-space transition in the first frame, and reduce the scale wobble when the logo lands. Flag any keyframes that create visible jitter at 50% playback speed.

I set two position keyframes for the title at 00:00:02 and 00:00:06 and it snaps between them. The director expects a natural ease-in/out and the music tempo constraints mean I can’t lengthen the move much. I don’t know whether to add more hand-tweaked keyframes, switch to bezier interpolation, or nudge timing slightly earlier. Which will give the smoothest result with minimal render time?

Across projects I repeatedly spend time polishing keyframed motion because my default is linear or uniform easing and clients hate the robotic feel. This costs me hours and re-renders. What habit should I change so my first pass looks natural, requires fewer tweaks, and renders faster?
