i changed the path len to 200 from 100 and changed the whole animation 20 200 but the bfly just went to then in 100 and sat there for 100!
Speed IPO: When you add a Path, a Speed IPO curve is also automatically added, shaped such that any object traversing the path smoothly accelerates at the start and then decelerates smoothly to a stop at the end of the path over 100 frames. You can view this Speed IPO curve in the IPO window, Path IPO type. This Speed curve overrides the Pathlen value. You can edit this IPO curve to change the speed and location of the object over whatever time period you wish, using the standard IPO editing features of Blender.>>
but there is no “speed” in IPO TYPES listbox, just “path”
