Parameter Animation and the Curve Editor
295
Parameters can be represented by any one of a number of different curve types, each
of which gives you a different way of controlling how a parameter’s values are
interpolated from keyframe to keyframe. You can change a curve’s type and cycling
mode at any time. For more information on specific curve types, see “
In addition to the Curve Editor tab, there are also curve editors that appear within the
Parameters tabs. These are used to edit lookup-style curves that generally relate to
color correction. These are the Lookup, LookupHLS, LookupHSV, and HueCurves nodes.
Loading and Viewing Curves in the Editor
By default, the Curve Editor appears empty. You have to specify one or more
parameters to be displayed in the Curve Editor. If multiple curves appear in the Curve
Editor, they overlap.
To load curves into the Curve Editor from the Parameters tabs:
1
Load a node into one of the Parameters tabs.
2
To display a parameter’s curve in the Curve Editor, do one of the following:
•
Inside of the Parameters tab, click a parameter’s Load Curve button.
A red checkmark appears to let you know the button is enabled, and that parameter
is loaded into the Curve Editor.
Note: Just because a parameter is loaded into the Curve Editor doesn’t mean the
parameter is animated.
•
Click a parameter’s Autokey button to create a keyframe at the current playhead
frame.
