For more information on how to use keyframes in the Keyframe Editor, see Chapter 6,

Keyframes and Curves

,” on page 401.

Note: When you combine keyframes with multiple behaviors, the results can appear to
be unpredictable, depending on the combination of behaviors that are applied.

You can convert the behaviors that are applied to all parameters of an object into
keyframes. Converting behaviors that have already been combined with keyframes
turns the sum of all behaviors and keyframes affecting that parameter into a thinned
series of keyframes. This results in a final animation curve that closely replicates the
shape of the background curve that appeared in the Keyframe Editor. These keyframes
can then be edited directly in the Keyframe Editor.

For more information on converting behaviors into keyframes, see “

Converting

Behaviors to Keyframes

” on page 343.

Animating Behavior Parameters

You can animate most behavior parameters in order to change the parameter’s effect
over time. You can animate behavior parameters using parameter behaviors, or by
keyframing them in the Keyframe Editor.
