Parameter Animation and the Curve Editor

Splitting the Curve Editor

You can separate the Curve Editor into two horizontal panes. This is useful when you
have two or more curves with completely different Y scales, such as the pan and scale
curves from a Move2D node. Each pane has its own set of visibility toggles, so you can
disable specific curves in one pane, and enable them in another. The V key is
particularly useful here, since the active pane is the last pane your pointer crossed.

To split the Curve Editor:

m

Click the top edge of the Editor window and drag down.

Working With Keyframes

This section presents different methods for adding and modifying keyframes within the
Curve Editor.

Adding Keyframes

There are many different methods you can use to add keyframes to a curve in the
Curve Editor.

Display Waveform

Displays the waveform of any currently loaded audio files from
the Audio Panel.

Color controls

These buttons appear in the Parameters tab for the Lookup,
LookupHSV, and LookupHLS functions. They allow you to pick an
input color (RGB, HSV, or HLS) and match it to a different color.
Only visible curves receive keyframes on their curves. For
example, if you only want to modify luminance, ensure the hue
and saturation curves are disabled in a LookupHLS node.
