Meni:

Key ‣ Transform

An F-Curve can be edited by transforming the locations of the keyframes.

Move, Rotate, Scale

Like other elements in Blender, keyframes can be moved, rotated, or scaled as described in Basic Transformations.

Extend

Moves keyframes relative to the current frame. If the mouse is to the left of the Playhead, this operator only affects the selected keyframes that are to the left of the Playhead. On the contrary, if the mouse is to the right of the Playhead, this operator only affects the selected keyframes that are to the right of the Playhead.

Савет

For precise control of the keyframe position and value, you can set values in the Active Keyframe of the Sidebar region.

Copy/Paste

Pregled

Meni:

Key ‣ Copy Keyframes, Key ‣ Paste Keyframes

Shortcut:

Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V

Use Ctrl-C to copy selected keyframes and Ctrl-V to paste the previously copied keyframes. During the paste action, the Adjust Last Operation panel provides some options in how the paste is applied.

Offset

No Offset:

Pastes the keyframes in the location they were copied from.

Frame Relative:

Pastes the keyframe relative to the current frame based on the locations of the keyframes relative to the current frame when they were copied.

Frame Start:

Pastes the keyframes with the first keyframe of the copied set placed at the current frame.

Frame End:

Pastes the keyframes with the last keyframe of the copied set placed at the current frame.

Type

Mix:

Integrates the pasted keyframes in with existing keyframes only overwriting keyframes that share a frame.

Overwrite All:

Removes all previous keyframes and replaces them with the pasted keyframes.

Overwrite Range:

Overwrite keys in pasted range.

Overwrite Entire Range:

Key ‣ Duplicate

Shortcut:

Shift-D

Duplicates the selected keyframes. You can reposition them by moving the mouse.

Delete

Pregled

Meni:

Key ‣ Delete

Shortcut:

X, Delete

Pressing X or Delete opens a pop-up menu from where you can delete the selected keyframes.

Handle Type

Meni:

Key ‣ Handle Type

Shortcut:

V

Sets the handle type of the selected keyframes.

Interpolation Mode

T

Density

Decimate

Pregled

Meni:

Key ‣ Density ‣ Decimate (Ratio)

Meni:

Key ‣ Density ‣ Decimate (Allowed Change)

The Decimate tool simplifies an F-Curve by removing keyframes that influence the curve shape the least.

Režim

Controls which method is used pick the number of keyframes to use.

Ratio:

Deletes a defined percentage of keyframes, the amount of keyframes to delete is define by the Remove property.

Error Margin:

Deletes keyframes which only allowing the F-Curve to change by a defined amount. The amount of change is controlled by the Max Error Margin which controls how much the new decimated curve is allowed to deviate from the original.

Sample Keyframes

Pregled

Meni:

Key ‣ Density ‣ Sample Keyframes

Shortcut:

Shift-Alt-O

Sampling a set of keyframes replaces interpolated values with a new keyframe for each frame.

Clean Keyframes

Pregled

Meni:

Key ‣ Density ‣ Clean Keyframes

Shortcut:

X

Clean Keyframes resets the keyframe tangents on selected keyframes to their auto-clamped shape, if they have been modified.

Савет

The modified curve left after the Clean tool is run is not the same as the original, so this tool is better used before doing custom editing of F-Curves and after initial keyframe insertion, to get rid of any unwanted keyframes inserted while doing mass keyframe insertion (by selecting all bones and pressing I for instance).

Channels

Deletes the channel itself if it is only left with a single keyframe containing the default property value and it’s not being used by any generative F-Curve modifiers or drivers.

Breakdown

Pregled

Meni:

Key ‣ Blend ‣ Breakdown

Moves the selected keyframes to an in between position relative to the adjacent keyframes. To use this operator, drag the mouse left or right to adjust the operator’s Factor property.

Factor

The amount to favor either the left or the right key. Values less than 0.5 favor the left keyframe, values greater than 0.5 favor the right keyframe, a value of 0.5 results in no change.

Blend to Neighbor

Pregled

Meni:

Key ‣ Blend ‣ Blend to Neighbor

Transitions the current keyframe with the neighboring keyframes in the timeline. In order for this operator to work, there must be a keyframe before and after the current frame. To use this operator, drag the mouse left or right to adjust the operator’s Blend property.

Blend

The amount to favor either the left or the right key. Values less than 0.5 favor the left keyframe, values greater than 0.5 favor the right keyframe, a value of 0.5 results in no change.

Blend to Default Value

Pregled

Meni:

Key ‣ Blend ‣ Blend to Neighbor

Transitions the current keyframe towards the property’s default value. To use this operator, drag the mouse left or right to adjust the operator’s Blend property.

Blend

The amount to favor either the current key or the default value. A value of 0 represents the current key, a value of 1 represents the default value.

The Reset to Default operator resets any property to its default value without the need of keyframing.

Ease

Pregled

Meni:

Key ‣ Blend ‣ Ease

Aligns selected keyframes to follow an exponential path between the first and last keyframes. To use this operator, drag the mouse left or right to adjust the operator’s Blend property.

Blend

Changes the concavity of the curve. Values less than 0.5 cause keyframes to concave up, values greater than 0.5 cause keyframes to concave down, a value of 0.5 results in a straight line.

Meni:

Key ‣ Smooth ‣ Smooth (Legacy)

Shortcut:

Alt-O

There is also an option to smooth the selected curves, but beware: its algorithm seems to be to divide by two the distance between each keyframe and the average linear value of the curve, without any setting, which gives quite a strong smoothing! Note that the first and last keys seem to be never modified by this tool.
