Extrapolation method

Example

Description

Constant

(Default) The parameter remains at the
exact value of the first and last keyframes
in the extrapolated area.

Linear

Extends the curve beyond the first and
last keyframes uniformly, along the
existing trajectory.

Repeat

Duplicates the curve, applying it again
and again.

Ping Pong

Copies the curve and repeats it,
alternating forward and backward.

Progressive

Extends the curve by repeating the
existing shape of the curve, but rather
than returning to the exact same values,
it begins again from the existing end
value.
