Delete effects curve: Removes the effects curve to be created again.
Copy effects curve: The effects curve is copied to the clipboard to be used at other
positions.
Insert effects curve: A previously copied effects curve can be inserted elsewhere with
this function at any time. This may be in the same object or in another object.
Note: If you would like to insert the curve into a longer or shorter object, then think
about setting the option "Connect curve length with object length" correctly before
copying.
Combine effects curve 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 curve: 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 effects 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: 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.
