Introduzione

The Graph Editor allows users to adjust animation curves over time for any animatable property. F-Curves.

The Graph Editor.

Regione Principale

The curve view allows you to view and edit F-Curves. An F-Curve has several key parts:

Curva

The curve defines the value (Y axis) of the property over time (X axis).

See F-Curves.

Fotogrammi Chiave (keyframes)

Keyframes are user-defined values on certain frames and are represented by little black squares which become orange if selected.

See Keyframes for more information.

Handles

Each keyframe has a handle that helps determine the values of the curve between keyframes. These handles are represented by extruding lines with circular ends and can be selected and modified to change the shape of the curve.

See F-Curve Handles for more information.

A simple curve.

Navigazione

As with most editors, you can:

Pan

Pan the view vertically (values) or horizontally (time) with click and drag MMB.

Zoom

Zoom in and out with the mouse wheel Wheel.

Scale View

Scale the view vertically or horizontally Ctrl-MMB.

In addition, you can also use the scrollbars to pan and zoom the view.

Playhead & 2D Cursor

Graph Editor 2D Cursor.

The current frame is represented by a blue vertical line called the Playhead.

As in the Timeline, you can change the current frame by LMB-dragging in the scrubbing area at the top of the editor.

The blue horizontal line is called the 2D Cursor. This can be enabled or disabled via the View Menu or the View Properties panel.

These two lines can be used as a reference for moving and scaling keyframe handles.

View Axes

For Actions the X axis represents time, the Y axis represents the value to set the property.

Depending on the selected curves, the values have different meaning: for example rotation properties are shown in degrees.

When transforming keyframes, changes to the animation data are propagated to other views.

Preview Range

Set Preview Range P

Interactively define frame range used for playback. Allows you to define a temporary preview range to use for animation playback (this is the same thing as the Playback Range option of the Timeline editor header).

Clear Preview Range Alt-P

Clears the preview range.

Set Preview Range to Selected Ctrl-Alt-P

Sets the preview range to playback the selected NLA strips.

Markers Menu

Markers are used to denote frames with key points or significant events within an animation. Like with most animation editors, markers are shown at the bottom of the editor.

Markers in animation editor.

For descriptions of the different marker tools see Editing Markers.

View Controls

View controls.

Show Only Selected

Only include curves related to the selected objects and data.

Show Hidden

Include curves from objects/bones that are not visible.

Show Only Errors

Only include curves and drivers that are disabled or have errors. Useful for debugging.

Filter (funnel icon)

Only include curves with keywords contained in the search field.

Multi-Word

Fuzzy/Multi-Word name filtering matches word snippets/partial words, instead of having to match everything. It breaks down the search text based on whitespace placement. e.g. «lo ro» will filter all location and rotation, while «lc rt» will not work.

Type Filter

Filter curves by property type.

Filtering Collection

Select a collection to only show keyframes from objects contained in that collection.

Sort Data-Blocks

Objects data-blocks appear in alphabetical order, so that it is easier to find where they occur (as well as helping to keep the animation of related objects together in the NLA for instance).

If you find that your playback speed suffers from this being enabled (it should only really be an issue when working with lots of objects in the scene), you can turn this off.

Normalize

Normalize curves so the maximum or minimum point equals 1.0 or -1.0.

Auto

Automatically recalculate curve normalization on every curve edit. This is useful to prevent curves from jumping after tweaking it.
