Move to a position near the middle of the path (in the 3d world). Click on the last node. Now hit the INSERT key. You've just dropped a node directly in the middle of that path, at 4 seconds. They<65>re still dropped from WHERE you are when you drop them, but you<6F>ll see on the timeline that they always show up WHEN they<65>re exactly halfway between the selected node and the node before it (whereas CTRL creates a node one second AFTER the last node on the timeline). You can always hit the DELETE key to delete a node.
<P>
Sorry for being so obtuse. We<57>re dealing with a lot of dimensions here, and it<69>s hard to explain that we mean "Halfway in time" as opposed to "halfway in space". Bear with us.
<P>
Anyway, so now you should have three Nodes making a path.
<P>
one node at 0:0, one at 4:0, one at 8:0.
<P>
Now of course I don't know what yours looks like. but I hope it looks like 2 straight lines.

0:00 0:02 0:04 0:06 0:08

Play this. the camera moves forward, slows down at the 4 second mark, then starts back up again. the reason it slows down is because that second node at 4 seconds has no velocity. Lets fix that.
