Remove Ease/Multiplier Curve 561
Procedure
To apply an ease cur ve or a multiplier cur ve:
1.
In the Curve Editor Hierarchy list, highlight the
tracks you wish to ease or intensify.
Not al l controller items can receive ease or
multiplier curves. For example, the Path
Constraint position controller cannot receive
an ease or multiplier curve, but its subordinate
Percent controller can. If the highlighted
controller is incapable of receiving ease or
multiplier curves, nothing happens when you
apply the curve.
2. From the Curves menu, choose Apply - Ease
CurveorApply-MultiplierCurve.
3. In the Controller window expand the
highlighted tracks to view the ease curve.
4. HolddowntheCTRLkeyandclicktheease
cur ve and controller t r acks.
5. Adjust the keys on the ease curve and watch the
result in the controller curve.
Use a Multiplier curve to intensify an effect, or
an ease curve to make less of an effect.
Tip: U se Step interpolation to use the ease curve
to turn tracks on and off.
Inter face
Apply - Ease Cur ve—Applies a curve to alter the
timing of the s elected funct ion curve. Ease curves
vary the timing of a superior function curve.
A normal function cur ve charts an animated
parameter value over time. An ease curve char ts
changes to the timing of a function curve over
time.
Apply - Multiplier Curve—Applies a curve to scale
the v alue of the selected func tion curve. The value
of a multiplier curve is a scale factor applied to the
value of its superior function curve.
You apply ease and multiplier curves in Curve
Editor mode. Once y ou apply an ease or multiplier
cur ve, you can edit its keys, ranges, and properties,
as with any other animation track.
