Common key interpolation properties
The properties of a key will depend on the type of its track. All keys will have Name and Time
properties, most will have one or more Value properties. For many tracks, the interpolation will occur
between keys on the track, and these keys will have common interpolation properties as described
below. (Interpolation properties can also be set in the F-Curve manager).
Link Tangents
Link Tangents enabled (top) and disabled (bottom).
If this option is enabled, the left tangent is linked to the right tangent so that they point in exactly
the opposite directions and are both the same length. In addition, the settings for the left tangent
are hidden and cannot be edited numerically. This avoids kinks in the curve. If you do want to edit the
left tangent, disable the option.
Interpolation L / R
Using these drop-down lists, you can set separate interpolation types for the left and right
tangents.
Custom
A handle is shown for the tangent in the F-Curve window, where you can drag the handle freely to
rotate and scale the tangent. You can also enter values into the Time L / R and Value L / R boxes.
