Settings for interacting with Blender data

Mode of automatic keyframe insertion for Objects and Bones (default setting used for new Scenes)

- Type
enum in [‘FREE’, ‘ALIGNED’, ‘VECTOR’, ‘AUTO’, ‘AUTO_CLAMPED’], default ‘AUTO_CLAMPED’
- keyframe_new_interpolation_type
Interpolation mode used for first keyframe on newly added F-Curves (subsequent keyframes take interpolation from preceding keyframe)

Quartic – Quartic easing.QUINT
Quintic – Quintic easing.EXPO

Circular – Circular easing (strongest and most dynamic).BACK
Back – Cubic easing with overshoot and settle.BOUNCE
Bounce – Exponentially decaying parabolic bounce, like when objects collide.ELASTIC
Elastic – Exponentially decaying sine wave, like an elastic band.
