Interpolation

Interpolate

Menu

Stroke ‣ Animation ‣ Interpolate ‣ Interpolate

Hotkey

Ctrl-Alt-E

Interpolates strokes between the previous and next keyframe by adding a single keyframe. When you are on a frame between two keyframes and press Ctrl-Alt-E a new breakdown keyframe will be added. This way you define the final interpolation for the new stroke.

Sequence

Reference

Menu

Stroke ‣ Animation ‣ Interpolate ‣ Sequence

Hotkey

Shift-Ctrl-E

Interpolate strokes between the previous and next keyframe by adding multiple keyframes. A breakdown keyframe will be added on every frame between the previous and next keyframe.

Bemerkung

The Interpolate and Sequence tools work better when the strokes in the previous and next keyframes have the same amount of points. For example when there are duplicated strokes on different keyframes only with different location, rotation or scale.
