•
Choose Background Audio Waveform: Displays a list of available audio tracks in the project.
When a track (or the Master track) is chosen, its waveform appears behind the animation
curves. Use this view to sync animation with audio.
•
Clear Curve List: Empties the parameters list. This control is active for custom curve sets.
•
Fit Visible Curves in Window: Scales the graph vertically and horizontally (in time) to show
keyframes of active parameters.
•
Take/Show Curve Snapshot: Saves a “snapshot” of the current curve state for use as an overlay
to compare with subsequent curve modifications. When this setting is enabled, the original
curve (as it appeared when you took the snapshot) retains its original color. The modified
curve appears white.
•
Snapping: Turns on magnetic snapping so keyframes easily line up with other keyframes,
markers, grid points, and other items.
•
Auto-Scale Vertically to Fit Curves: Turns on a view mode that stretches the graph vertically to
show all curves.
The Keyframe Editor uses the same zoom/scroll control as the Timeline. For more information
about zooming and scrolling, see
Adjust the Timeline on page 88.
