2 Choose Animation > Keyframe Interpolation.
3 For Temporal Interpolation, choose one of the following options:
• Current Settings preserves the interpolation values already applied to the selected
keyframes. Choose this option when multiple or manually adjusted keyframes are selected
and you do not want to change the existing settings.
• Linear, Bezier, Continuous Bezier, Auto Bezier, and Hold apply a temporal interpolation
method using default values.
4 If you selected keyframes of a spatial layer property, choose one of the following options
for Spatial Interpolation (available only for Position, Anchor Point, Effect Point, and 3D
Orientation keyframes):
• Current Settings preserves the interpolation settings already applied to the selected
keyframes.
• Linear, Bezier, Continuous Bezier, and Auto Bezier apply a spatial interpolation method
using default values.
5 If you selected keyframes of a spatial layer property, use the Roving menu to choose how
a keyframe determines its position in time, and then click OK:
• Current Settings preserves the currently applied method of positioning the selected
keyframes in time.
• Rove Across Time smooths the rate of change through the selected keyframes by auto-
matically varying their position in time, based on the positions of the keyframes immedi-
ately before and after the selection. See “Creating smooth changes using roving
keyframes” on page 220.
• Lock to Time keeps the selected keyframes at their current position in time. They stay in
place unless you move them manually.
To change an interpolation method directly in a window:
1 Display the Value graph in the Timeline window or the motion path in the Compo-
sition or Layer window.
2 Using the selection tool, press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you click
the keyframe marker you want to change. The interpolation method that the keyframe
changes to depends on the current interpolation:
• If the keyframe uses Linear interpolation, it changes to Auto Bezier.
