Mini-curve editor
When expanded, the mini-curve editor shows a representation of the relevant animation
curve. In the example above, the Range parameter is mapped to the X axis and the Spin
Amount parameter is mapped to the Y axis.
The procedure for adding keyframes in a mini-curve editor is slightly different than for
adding them in the full-sized Keyframe Editor.
To add keyframes in the mini-curve editor
Do one of the following:
µ
Click the curve in the mini-curve editor.
µ
Double-click the curve in the mini-curve editor to add a keyframe and activate its value
field.
µ
Option-click the curve, then choose Add Keyframe from the shortcut menu.
The mini-curve editor provides the Edit, Sketch, and Box tools, and each functions in the
same manner as it does in the Keyframe Editor. For more information on using the Edit
tool, see
