3 To manually change a keyframe from one type to another, do one of the following:
• If the keyframe uses Linear interpolation, Ctrl-click the keyframe in the Timeline panel or Ctrl-click the keyframe
marker in the Effect Controls panel to change it to Auto Bezier. If you drag the handles, the keyframe changes to
Continuous Bezier.
• If the keyframe uses Auto Bezier interpolation, Ctrl-click the keyframe and drag out a direction handle to change
it to Bezier. Bezier interpolation lets you control each direction handle independently. To convert it to Continuous
Bezier, just drag a handle.
• IfthekeyframeusesBezier,ContinuousBezier,orAutoBezier,Ctrl-clickthekeyframetochangeittoLinear.The
Bezier handles disappear.

To adjust Bezier handles
1 Display the Bezier keyframe you want to adjust.
2 Select either the Selection tool or the Pen tool , and do one of the following:
• To adjust the slope of the curve, drag the Bezier handle up or down. Moving the handle up accelerates the changes
and moving the handle down decelerates the changes.
• To adjust the range of the curve’s influence, drag the Bezier handle to the left or right.
To fine-tune the speed of an effect
In the Effect Controls panel, you can use the Velocity graph to adjust motion or the rate of change for a value just
before and just after a keyframe. Such adjustments can simulate real-world motion. For example, you can change the
motion of a clip so that it slows down just before a keyframe and then speeds up just after the keyframe. You can
control the values approaching and leaving a keyframe together, or you can control each value separately.
