Like the Smooth filter, Smooth Translation averages all keyframes to smooth movement. Smooth Translation also smoothes the curve motion by reducing the shaking of data.
Shaking (or “noise”) mostly occurs on translation data obtained with motion capture devices. Smooth Translation was specifically developed for smoothing translation curves.

When you select the Smooth Translation filter in the Filters window, you can set the following parameters:
Lets you set the smoothing window width. The default value is 8. Greater values strengthen smoothing, while lesser values decrease smoothing.
Lets you set the smooth multiplying factor. The default value is 1.5. Greater values decrease smoothing, while lesser values increase smoothing. Factor values normally range from 0-2.
Lets you set the number of samples that are taken on the curve. The default value is 8.
