F-CURVE MANAGER • 1039
Hold
Before. After Hold has been applied to the top keys.
The curve holds the value of each selected key until the next key is reached, at which point the curve
jumps abruptly to reach the point.
Clamp
Before. After.
Suppose your curve has neighboring keys, each set to the same value, and you want a straight line
between them to ensure that the parameter stays at the same value. However, soft interpolation
curves the line curved between the keys. To straighten the curve between neighboring keys of the
same value, select the keys and choose Clamp.
Move
Moves the selected keys by specic values. In the dialog that opens, set Time to the movement along
the X-axis, set Data to the movement along the Y-axis and click OK to move the keys. If instead you
want to move the points freely, drag one of the selected points in the F-Curve manager.
Scale
Scales the selected keys and their tangents. In the dialog, set Time to the horizontal scaling factor and
set Data to the vertical scaling factor. For example, set Time to 2, set Data to 1 and click OK to double
the size of the keys along the X-axis. The origin of scaling is the left-most key.
