User Manual

 To duplicate one or more keyframes: Make a selection of keyframes, then hold the
Option key down and drag the selected keyframes to duplicate them and move the
duplicates to a new position (and even new values). This can be a good way to quickly
loop a repetitive animated effect you’ve created.
 To select a single keyframe: Click a single keyframe to select it.
 To select multiple discontiguous keyframes: Command-click all keyframes you want to
select, whether they’re next to one another or not.
 To select multiple contiguous keyframes: Click the first keyframe you want to select,
and then shift-click the last keyframe you want to select, and all keyframes between
will also be selected, or drag a bounding box within the Curve Editor around multiple
keyframes to select them all at once.
 To select all keyframes: If the Keyframe Editor is open and it has focus (by clicking
anywhere within it), then pressing Command-A will select all keyframes within that
Keyframe Editor.
Methods of adjusting keyframes in the Curve Editor of the Edit page:
 To drag one or more keyframes freely on a curve: Select one or more keyframes and
drag left or right to retime them, and up or down to change their value.
 To drag one or more keyframes on a curve in only one direction: Select one or more
keyframes, then hold the Shift key while dragging either vertically or horizontally to
constrain keyframe adjustment within that single direction.
 To nudge selected keyframes one value or frame at a time: Select one or more
keyframes and Command-Left Arrow and Command-Right Arrow to nudge them in
time, or Command-Up Arrow and Command-Down Arrow to nudge their value, for
precision keyframe adjustments.
Methods of changing keyframe interpolation/easing/smoothing:
 To change the interpolation of a single keyframe: There are two methods. You
can select the keyframes you want to change, and then click one of the four Bezier
interpolation buttons in the Curve Editor title bar. Or, you can right-click one of the
selected keyframes and choose one of the interpolation options from the contextual
menu. Keyframes that have already been eased in the Keyframe Editor or via controls in
the Inspector already have bezier handles exposed in the Curve Editor.
 To change the interpolation of multiple keyframes: Select multiple keyframes by
Command-clicking or dragging a bounding box, and then click one of the four Bezier
interpolation buttons in the Curve Editor title bar to simultaneously change the
interpolation of all of them.
 To adjust a Bezier handle: Drag the Bezier handle in any direction to alter the curve.
