Curve Options
Opens a menu where you can set the following commands: Tangent Visibility, which controls how Tangents are drawn in the graph. You can choose from: All Tangents, which causes all keyframes to display their tangents, regardless of whether they are selected or not. Selected Keys, which only displays tangents on selected keyframes. No Tangents, which disables all drawing of tangents. Auto Frame Curves, which causes automatic framing and zooming of all visible keyframes on a curve when it is selected from the Outliner. Snap Time to Selection, which moves the Playhead to the selected keyframe's time. If multiple keyframes are selected, the Playhead moves to the left-most keyframe. Buffered Curves, which enables or disables drawing buffered curves in the graph. Curve Tooltips, which shows a tooltip for a curve's name, time, and value when hovering your cursor over it in the graph.
Time and Value Fields
These property fields display the Time and Value of the selected keyframe. You can edit these properties directly by typing in new values.
Selection Mode
Enables normal keyframe and tangent selection and editing. You can also use the Q hotkey for this command.
Transform Mode
Enables the Transform Tool for editing keyframes. You can also use the Ctrl + T hotkey for this command.
Retime Mode
Enables the Retime Tool, which activates a lattice manipulation mode for adjusting keyframe times. You can also use the Ctrl + E hotkey to enable this command.
Multi Select Mode
Enables the Multi Select Tool, which activates a scaling mode for selected groups of keyframes based on an adjustable pivot. You can also use the Ctrl + M hotkey to enable this command.
Time Snapping
Enables keyframe snapping on horizontal (time) increments in the graph. The snap increments are based on Sequencer's Frames Per Second if you are using the Curve Editor from Sequencer. Otherwise, you can click the nearby dropdown menu to select a custom time-based snapping increment.
Value Snapping
Enables keyframe snapping on vertical (value) increments in the graph. You can select the nearby dropdown menu to select a custom value-based snapping increment, as well as adjust the display of the graph lines.
Lock Axis
Opens a dropdown menu for selecting which axis to lock keyframe movements to. Both is the default value and allows keyframe movement in all directions in the graph. X Only restricts keyframe movement along the horizontal (time) axis only. Y Only restricts keyframe movement along the vertical (value) axis only.
Cubic (Auto) Tangent
Sets the selected keyframes to interpolate automatically, causing the curve's tangents to adjust based on the location of neighboring keyframes in the graph.
Cubic (User) Tangent
Sets the selected keyframes to use user-defined tangent angles. Whenever you adjust a tangent angle, the keyframe will automatically switch to this mode.
Cubic (Break) Tangent
Sets the selected keyframes tangents to use broken tangent angles, allowing for keyframes that have different incoming and outgoing tangent angles.
Linear Tangent
Sets the selected keyframes to use linear tangent angles. This causes the incoming and outgoing tangents to always face their respective neighbors, resulting in abrupt changes when reaching each keyframe.
Constant Tangent
Sets the selected keyframe to use stepped tangent angles, causing keyframes to maintain their value until reaching the next keyframe.
Weighted Tangents
Sets the selected keyframe to use weighted tangent angles, causing tangents to use user-defined lengths which determines the influence that tangent angle exerts over its neighboring keyframe tangents.
Pre Infinity Settings
Opens a dropdown menu for selecting the Pre-Infinity behavior of the selected keyframe or curve.
