Apple Motion 3 - Manual (Page 555)

Chapter 6 Keyframes and Curves 555
When you click this button, Motion automatically rescales the graph both vertically and
horizontally so that your curve is entirely visible.
The values of your keyframes are not changed.
Auto-scale vertically: Click the “Auto-scale vertically” button (the magnifying glass in
the upper-right corner of the Keyframe Editor) to stretch the graph to fit all of the
curves currently in view.
To turn on automatic scaling:
m Click the “Auto-scale vertically” button in the upper-right corner of the Keyframe Editor.
When “Auto-scale vertically” is on, the range of the graph increases to accommodate
your entire curve even as you change it. For example, if you drag a keyframe up to
increase its value, as you drag past the top of the window, the whole graph is rescaled,
rather than scrolled.
This can be disconcerting at first because it might appear that your curve refuses to get
bigger even as you drag your keyframe. However, if you watch the zoom/scroll bar at
the right side of the window, you can see that the graph is being zoomed vertically to
make room for your wider range of values.
Mini-Curve Editor
A mini-curve editor is a scaled-down version of the Keyframe Editor. Appearing in the
Inspector, mini-curve editors give you the functionality to create basic animations
directly in the Inspector, without having to open the Keyframe Editor.
