Parameter Animation and the Curve Editor
301
To add keyframes to a curve by modifying a parameter:
m
In the node’s Parameters tab, click the Autokey button. Modifying a value when
Autokey is enabled creates a keyframe at the current position of the playhead.
To create keyframes at the position of the playhead on every loaded curve:
1
In the Parameters tab, click the Load Curve button for each parameter you want to
keyframe.
2
Move the playhead to the frame where you want to create a keyframe.
3
Click the Autokey button.
Keyframes are created for every curve that’s currently loaded in the Curve Editor. For
example, if the Move2D node has its x,yPan, x,yScale, angle, and x,yCenter parameters
set for keyframing, keyframes are created on the curves of each of these parameters.
Note: Creating keyframes in this manner overrides any expressions within those
parameters.
To insert a keyframe anywhere on a curve, do one of the following:
m
Shift-click a segment. This lets you insert new keyframes at frames that aren’t at the
current position of the playhead
m
Position the pointer over a curve so that it’s highlighted, and press K.
In the Curve Editor parameters list, a keyframe is created whenever you enter or modify
a value in the Val value field. However, the parameter’s Autokey button (in the
Parameters tab, below the Curve Editor) must be activated first.
The Lookup, LookupHLS, and LookupHSV functions have color control pairs embedded
in their dedicated Curve Editors that remain inside the Parameters tab. You can use
these to enter keys. However, these keys are not related to time, but, rather to a
particular color channel. Therefore, these keys become points on the color-correction
curves. For more information, see “
