Curve Editing Tips
• To move a keyframe, click the keyframe and drag.
• To insert a keyframe, Shift-click a curve segment. You can also enter a value at the
desired frame in the Val field of the Curve Editor.
• To remove a keyframe, select the keyframe and press Delete (near the Page Up/
Page Down keys) or Backspace.
• To adjust the tangents, click and drag a tangent handle.
A “flatter” tangent creates a smoother ease-in/ease-out effect for the animation at
that point in the curve.
• To break the tangents of a curve, Control-click a tangent handle.
• To restore broken tangents, Shift-click a tangent handle.
• To perform a precise edit on a keyframe, select its point on the curve, then
manually enter the frame number and value in the Key and Value fields at the
bottom of the Curve Editor.
