Track View > Curve Editor > Keys menu > Add Keys
When Add Keys is active, you can click anywhere on a function curve to add
a key at that location on the curve. Add Keys stays active until you click
another mode.
If the curve is part of a multicurve controller, vertices are added to each curve
at the time location where you clicked. For example, adding a key to the red
X curve of a TCB Position track simultaneously adds keys to the green Y curve
and the blue Z curve.
TIP You can move an existing key while in Add Keys mode simply by dragging it.
Adding Keys to a Multicurve Controller
The value of each key is set by one of the following conditions:
■ Keys added between keys receive the interpolated value shown by the
function curve at that location.
■ Keys added before the first or after the last key on the curve receive the
same value as the nearest key.
■ You can change a key value and/or time while adding it by dragging after
clicking the curve.
Procedures
To add keys to a function curve:
1 In the Hierarchy list, highlight a track.
2
On the Track View toolbar, click Add Keys.
3 Click the function curve (Curve Editor) where you want to add the key.
If the highlighted curve is part of a multicurve controller, vertices are
added to each curve at the time location where you clicked. For example,
if you are using a Bezier Position controller, adding a key to the red X
curve of a Position track simultaneously adds keys to the green Y curve
and the blue Z curve.
