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 Custom
Spin parameter is mapped to the Y axis.
The procedure for adding keyframes in a mini-curve editor is slightly different than 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 in the Keyframe Editor. For more information on using the Edit tool, see
