Connect curve length with object length: If this option is set, then changes to
object length will affect the effects curve accordingly.
In practice, this behavior is needed rarely, for example if objects are
stretched or compressed. The option is deactivated by default for this
reason.
Load effects curve: A previously saved effects curve may be loaded via this
menu item. This is useful, for example, if you have added your own default
animations.
Caution! The current effects curve will be overwritten as another one is
loaded.
Save effects curves: Effects curves can be saved as a separate file. This is
useful, for example, if you want to add your own default animations and
simply load them again at other positions again.
Tip: Be aware that during saving the setting "Connect curve length with
object length" is saved as well and applied during loading.
Edit effect curve...
This dialog serves to stretch, compress and move effect curves within an
object.The info bar of the dialog will display the effect, whose automation
curve is currently being edited.
Move position
Time axis: With each click on the arrow, you can move the effect curve
forward or back by the displayed time value.
Effect: Every click on the arrow up or down moves the effect curve by the
entered value. Depending on the effect, it is possible to enter exact or
percent values.
Stretching & compressing
Time axis: The effect curve will be stretched or compressed by the entered
time value. Invert reverses the curve on the time axis and reinserts it in
"reverse". The entire object duration will be considered.
Effect: The effect curve is stretched or compressed in its values, no time-
related editing takes place. The selected option (see table) is decisive in
editing.
