This can be disconcerting because it might appear that a curve refuses to get bigger even
as you drag a keyframe. However, if you watch the values at the left side of the window,
you can see that the graph is zoomed vertically to make room for your wider range of
values.
Viewing the Keyframe Editor on a Second Display
You can show the Keyframe Editor on a second display, providing a larger workspace for
modifying keyframes and curves. For more information, see Viewing the Canvas or Timing
Pane on a Second Display.
Filtering the Parameter List
Effective use of the Keyframe Editor requires controlling the list of parameters on display
in the curve graph. Although you might want quick access to all parameters you animate,
displaying too many parameters makes the graph difficult to read. Motion provides the
ability to store sets of parameters to facilitate this management.
Working with the Show Curve Set Pop-Up Menu
The Show Curve Set pop-up menu, located at the top of the parameter list, lets you display
11 built-in parameter curve sets as well as custom sets you build yourself. The menu
displays the name of the selected curve set (Animated, All, or Modified, for example).
The first option in the Show Curve Set pop-up menu lets you view all parameters
associated with a selected object (or multiple selected objects).
To view all parameters for all selected objects
µ
Choose All from the Show Curve Set pop-up menu.
By default, only animated parameters display curves in the graph; nonanimated parameters
appear as dotted lines. Deselect a parameter’s activation checkbox to hide it in the graph.
You can display or hide all parameters associated with a group or object by selecting or
deselecting its checkbox.
