<br>
Have you set the duration of all movements to the same amount? Be it 1<br>
second (default) or any other duration inside of each DoTogether all<br>
must be the same.<br>
<br>
Also, the animation style should be begin and end abruptly so the<br>
movement looks smooth.<br>
<br>
If possible, could you send your project to take a look?<br>
<br>
