choose a method from the Interpolation submenu.
The selected interpolation method is applied to all selected curves.
Curve interpolation methods
The Interpolation submenu of the Animation menu contains the following methods that set the
shape of curves between keyframes:
•
Constant: This method holds the keyframe at its current value when applied to a segment or
keyframe and then abruptly changes to the new value at the next keyframe.
•
Linear: When applied to a keyframe, this method creates a uniform distribution of values
through the keyframe from its two adjacent keyframes. When applied to a segment, this
method creates uniform distribution of values between points.
•
Bezier: This method lets you manipulate the keyframe curve manually by dragging the
handles. If multiple Bezier keyframes are selected, or Bezier interpolation is applied to the
curve segment, the handles of all selected keyframes are modified.
