(a) The Y curve after applying Simplify with a simplification value of 20.
To simplify a channel or a group of keyframes:
1 Select a channel or group of keyframes.
2 From the Curve Functions box in the Keyframe tab, select Simplify.
3 In the Curve Value field, enter a simplification value.
Use a large number to simplify the curve or group of keyframes. Use a small number to increase the
number of keyframes. The value in the Curve Value field produced by the drag returns to zero after
release.
Baking Keyframes
You can transform a curve or a group of keyframes by using the Bake function. This can be useful if you
want to change an extrapolated cycle curve into a normal curve, with keyframes created along the cycle.
You can also use the Bake function to remove the dependence of a curve linked to another curve with an
expression.
To bake a cycled curve:
1 Select a curve that has a cycle extrapolation applied to it.
2 Set the current frame to the last frame that you want to be baked.
3 From the Curve Functions box in the Keyframe tab, select Bake.
4 In the Curve Value field, enter a bake value.
Use a large number to simplify the curve or group of keyframes. Use a small number to increase the
number of keyframes. The value in the Curve Value field returns to zero after you have finished baking.
Swapping Animation Curves
You can swap animation curves between two channels. Swap works in conjunction with Copy or Cut. You
can also swap single keyframes but not a group of keyframes.
To swap two channels:
1 Select the first channel to swap.
2 Click Cut or Copy.
