• Click the right arrow button below an
out-of-range type to apply it to only the
outgoing curve of the multiplier curve.
Inter face
Co nstant—Holds the values at the ends of the
range for all frames. Use Constant when you
want no animated effect before or after the range.
Thetimevalueatstartoftherangeisheldforall
frames before the range, and the time value at the
end of the range is held for all frames after the
range. Constant is the default out-of-range type
formultipliercurves.
Cycle—Repeats the same animation as within the
range. U se Cycle when you want an animation to
repeat exactly.
Loop—Repeats the same animation as within the
range but interpolates between the last key and
thefirstkeyoftherangetocreateasmoothloop.
Use Loop with an extended range bar to produce
smoothly repeating animation.
Ping Pong—Alternates between forward and
backward repetition of the animation within
the r ange. Use Ping Pong when you want your
animation to a lternate back and forth.
Linear—Projects the animation value along lines
tangent to the ease or multiplier curve at the
limits of the range. Use Linear when you want

constan t velocity.
Relative Repeat—Repeats the same animation as
within the range but offsets each repetit ion by the
value at the end of the range. Use Relative Repeat
to create animations that build on each other as
they repeat.

Freeze Non -Selected Curves makes all
non-highlighted curves une ditable. Default=On.
Freeze Non-Selected Curves is a selection modifier
and has the follow ing properties:
• Non-highli g hted curves display as dashed lines.
• Youcanmanipulateverticesonhighlighted
curves only in the Edit window.
• You highlight other curves by clicking their
icons in the Hierarchy list.
Turn Freeze Non-Selected Curves off when
youwanttobeabletoeditmultiplecurves
w ithout having to select them all. Tur n Freeze
Non-Selected Curves On when you have
multiple vertices on multiple curves all in the
same place.
Procedure
Ex ample: To f r eeze non-selected cur v es:
1.
Animate an object’s position.
2. From the Graph Editors menu, choose Track
View - Curve Editor. On the Options menu,
make sure A uto Expand > Selected Objects
Only/Transforms/XYZ Components are all on.
The X/Y/Z position tracks are all highlighted,
and their curves appear in the Key w indow. You
