You may need to up the FPS (frames per second) rate. Go to Modify/Document and in there is where you can set it. By default it is 12, and typically the most common to use is between 20 and 30.

you could also use what’s called easing, but a bit more advanced for new users.

you also might want to try increasing the number of frames  
the motion takes place. if you have it set at like 15 frames, you  
may want to expand it out to 30-40 frames. Also, keep the FPS  
at 20+. 😉

also, should you have too many things moving at once, the tweens will come out slow and choppy…

if you simply copied and pasted some huge picture from photoshop it might cause a slowdown too…
