A keyframe is added at the current playhead position. When you play back the project, the object
moves over the interval you set.
Keyframe Editor controls
The left side of the Keyframe Editor contains a list of parameters. You can choose which
parameters to display by using the Show Curve Set pop-up menu at the top of the list. This
menu has an option for creating custom curve sets so you can focus on specific parameters in
the Keyframe Editor. For more information on creating and viewing parameter sets, see
Create a
custom curve view on page 463.
There are a number of controls above the parameter list, described below.
Show Curve Set pop-up menu
The Show Curve Set menu determines which parameters are displayed in the Keyframe Editor.
The pop-up menu items include:
•
All: Displays all parameters for the selected object, whether or not the parameters
are animated.
•
Animated: Displays only animated parameters and curves for the selected object. This includes
animation curves created by keyframing as well as behaviors. This is the default setting. With
the Keyframe Editor active, you can also press the U key to choose Animated from the Show
Curve Set pop-up menu.
Note: When the selected object is not animated, nothing appears in the Keyframe Editor in
this state.
•
Modified: Displays only curves that are modified for the selected object. This includes
modifications that are not animated. For example, if you change the color of a shape (without
animating the color change), the parameter appears in the Modified list because the color was
changed from the default color. Animated parameters also appear in the list.
•
Active: Shows only parameters being modified. When this option is selected, nothing appears
in the Keyframe Editor unless you are modifying an object (in the Canvas, Inspector, or HUD).
For example, when Active is selected and you move an object around in the Canvas, the X and
Y Position parameters and curves are displayed.
•
Position: Displays only the Position parameters for the selected object.
•
Rotation: Displays only the Rotation parameters for the selected object.
