Unlooped Area
In previous versions of CINEMA 4D, if you created a time curve and used it to control a track with loops,
the time curve would affect the entire track including the loops. This often caused objects to jump
wildly. To apply the time curve to the unlooped area only, enable the Unlooped Area option.
Constant XYZ Velocity
This option is only available if a Position.X, Rotation.H or Scale.X sequence (just one of these, not all
three) is selected. Enable the option to set X, Y and Z to a constant velocity. This is especially useful
when animating objects along spline paths — enabling the option will ensure that the objects move
with constant velocity, whereas with the option disabled, the objects may speed up and slow down
in various places depending on the spline interpolation settings.
New Key
Use this command to create a new key on the active sequence. It opens a dialog, allowing you to enter
the time position of the key. Once you have entered the desired position and clicked OK, the key is
created and its properties are displayed on the Attribute manager’s Key Properties page.
You can also create a new key by Ctrl-clicking on the sequence at the position where you want to add
the key. Again, the key’s settings are displayed in the Attribute manager.
