I have a cutscene where the camera continuesly tweens between positions and it’s meant to look like continous motion but it clearly slows down and stops before starting the next move, any advice?
Supporting Video:
As you can see, you can see and feel when it starts tweening between different invisible objects on the path:
Some of this is obviously down to fine tuning the speed so it increases/slows down at a good pace, that said you can clearly see the camera slowing down to a stand still before tweening again.
What have i tried to fix it so far:
- Tuning TweenInfo speed.
- Swapping out
Animation.Completed:Wait()forwait(tonumber(array[1])-0.5) - Checking calculation overhead for each tween.
- Changing wait time to change to next tween earlier.
My system uses a module for camera and :Play() from a require to call it. All the cutscene camera animation information is included in here:
Enclosed is my code aside the Camera shake code. I can also provide the testing file if need be

I appreciate all advice given and this may just me being dumb, I admit, I am not great at TweenInfo as there is a lack of detail as to what each option does. TweenInfo value object only includes the following:
The highlighted is the only value which changes.
Small update, some were getting confused by my wording of the issue so EriChan1235 said it alot better:
