Chapter 6 Keyframes and Curves 557
To add keyframes in the mini-curve editor, do one of the following:
m Click the curve in the mini-curve editor.
m Double-click the curve in the mini-curve editor to add a keyframe and activate its value
field.
m Option-click the curve, then choose Add Keyframe from the shortcut menu.
The mini-curve editor provides the Edit, Sketch, and Box tools, and each functions in
the same manner as it does in the Keyframe Editor. For more information on using the
Edit tool, see “
Using the Edit Tool ” on page 539. For more information on using the
Sketch tool, see “ Using the Sketch Tool ” on page 543. For more information on using
the Box tool, see “ Using the Box Tool ” on page 544.
The Auto Fit checkbox toggles whether Motion automatically scales the animation
curve to fit within the confines of the mini-curve editor.
Animating on the Fly
Another powerful feature that Motion offers is the ability to create animations while
your project is playing back. This is similar to how audio engineers adjust sliders for
each of their different audio channels while listening to the mix. The next time it is
played back, all of those changes are incorporated.
