Keyframe graph

The keyframe graph, located to the right of the parameter list, displays all curves and keyframes
for selected parameters. Parameters are represented by different colors. Keyframes appear as
diamonds, and curves appear as solid lines. Areas before the first keyframe and after the last
keyframe are represented by dotted lines. Selected parameters and keyframes appear white.

You can manipulate keyframes by dragging them in the graph. Moving keyframes left and right
changes their position in time, while dragging them up and down changes their values. You can
also double-click a keyframe, enter a number into the pop-up value field, and then press Return
to change its value.

Control-click a keyframe to access shortcut menu options as well as an Interpolation submenu,
which lets you change curve types. For more information on manipulating keyframes and curves
in the graph, see

Add, delete, and modify keyframes

on page 465 and

Set curve interpolation

on

page 474.

A ruler at the top of the keyframe graph provides a visual gauge for positions and durations of
keyframes and curves. For more information, see

Timing pane ruler

on page 83.
