Working with Value and Velocity Curves
Every animatable parameter track in the timeline has corresponding value and velocity
curves. The value curve plots the parameter’s value over time on a graph and displays the
location of keyframes in the timeline. Velocity curves plot the rate of change in a parameter’s
value over time on a graph.
Using Value Curves to Adjust Animation
You can directly manipulate a parameter’s value curve to adjust the movement of an effect
over time.
To view a parameter’s value curve:
1. Expand the parameter’s track.
2. Adjust the Value curve controls.
Using the Value Curve Controls
The value curve controls on the left side of the timeline let you adjust the visible range of the
graph’s coordinates to more easily view and manipulate your curve. The value curve
controls do not change the graph itself, they only change the view of the graph. By default,
the graph shows the entire value range for that parameter as shown in the following example.
