Mirror X, Mirror Y
These commands mirror the selected keys and their tangents horizontally (Mirror Y) or vertically
(Mirror X). Select at least two keys before choosing this command.
Cycle
Before. After.
This command repeat a group of selected keys. Set Copies to the number of repetitions. The start of
the rst repetition is joined to the end of the selection, the start of the second repetition is joined to
the end of the rst repetition and so on. Select at least two keys before choosing this command.
Cycle With Offset
Before. After.
This command is similar to Cycle except that each repetition begins at a height equal to the height
of the highest key in the selection (or previous repetition). Select at least two keys before choosing
this command.
Bake Curve
This command lets you add keys to the curve without changing its shape. This is especially useful if
you’ve created the general shape of the curve and you want to add ne details. In the dialog that
opens, Frequency denes the number of frames between each key. For example, to create a key once
every ve frames, set Frequency to 5 and click OK. A Frequency of 1 generates the most keys — one
key per frame.
