NOTE In the Key Info dialog for the Bezier Scale controller, a Lock button is displayed
beside the X Scale spinner. If you click Lock X, only the X value affects all three
axes of scale. The Y and Z values are ignored and their function curves are not
displayed. When X is locked, the Y and Z values aren't affected by changes in the
X value. If you click Lock X when all three axes are at identical values, alter the X
value, and then unlock X. The Y and Z values remain where they were while X
retains its new value.
Key Tangent Flyouts With Bezier controller types, sets the interpolation
properties of the In tangent and Out tangent of the key. For details, see
Tangent
Types
on page 3129.
Tangent Copy buttons Use the arrow buttons at either side of the Key Tangent
flyouts to copy the tangent type between the tangents of the current key or
between the tangents of the previous and next key.
■ The left arrow of the In tangent copies to the Out tangent of the previous
key.
■ The right arrow of the In tangent copies to the Out tangent of the current
key.
■ The left arrow of the Out tangent copies to the In tangent of the current
key.
■ The right arrow of the Out tangent copies to the In tangent of the next
key.

You can adjust the tangent type of the Bezier transforms. This means you can
adjust the interpolation between keyframes to create particular motion effects.
By manipulating tangent types, you can make something hesitate, speed up,
slow down, or even stand still. Each key has two tangents: one to define the
interpolation before the key, and a second to define interpolation following
the key.
