User Manual

Using the Graph contextual menu for navigation:
There are several ways to navigate the graph area using the Spline Editor contextual
menu as well.
 Choose Scale > Scale to Fit (Command-F) to fit all active splines into the graph area.
 Choose Scale > Scale to Rectangle (Command-R) to draw a bounding box around the
area of the graph you want centered and scaled. This has the same effect as clicking
the Zoom to Rectangle button.
 Choose Scale > Default to reset the scaling of the graph area to default values.
 Choose Scale > Zoom In/Zoom Out to scale the graph area. This performs the same
functions as pressing the + and - keys on the keyboard.
 Choose Scale > Auto Fit to scale the graph to fit all splines dynamically as you make
splines visible and hidden. If the scaling is changed with Auto-Fit enabled, the graph
area will scroll as you play the comp to view all the keyframes.
 Choose Scale > Auto Scroll to scroll the graph area if the splines fall outside the graph
horizontally as you play.
 Choose Scale > Manual to disable all automatic attempts at showing splines in the
graph.
 Choose Options > Fit Times to automatically scale along the X-axis to fit the selected
spline. All visible splines are taken into account, not just the newly selected spline. With
this option off, activating a new spline will not change the horizontal scale.
 Choose Options > Fit Values to automatically scale along the Y-axis to fit the selected
spline. All visible splines are taken into account, not just the newly selected spline. With
this option off, activating a new spline will not change the vertical scale.
Guides
Guides are markers created to help identify important frames in a project. They may indicate a
frame where a ray gun shoots a beam in the scene, the moment that someone passes through
a portal in the image, or any other important event in the composite.
Guides appear along the top of the horizontal axis Time Ruler. They are displayed as small blue
shapes, and when selected, a line extends from each guide down vertically through the graph.
Unselected guides appear as blue shapes along the top, while
selected guides display a vertical line running through the graph.
Working with Guides
Guides call attention to a particular frame within a comp. They can be named, displayed in a list,
and shared with the Keyframes Editor. After you add guides, you can easily jump the playhead
between them, change their position, or delete them altogether.
