Keyframes and Curves

You can prevent this automatic resizing by pressing Command while resizing an effect
object. This changes the overall duration of the effect, but does not alter the speed at
which the effect changes as determined by the keyframes.

Pressing Command while you resize an object with effects applied trims the object
without trimming the effects. This works the same way as trimming a layer without
modifying the durations of the component elements.

Animating in the Keyframe Editor

Whenever you create two or more keyframes, Motion generates interpolated values for
the frames that come between. These are called curves. The Keyframe Editor is the
control that allows you to view and make modifications to those curves. This feature
provides one of the most sophisticated and powerful ways to modify the objects and
effects in your project.
