Generate Keyframes

Ordinarily the extrapolation occurs without actually creating any new keyframes. This
lets you experiment with different methods. However, you can convert an extrapolation
method into actual keyframes so you can further manipulate them. This is done using
the Generate Keyframes command. You can choose how many of the extrapolation
cycles you want converted into keyframes. Cycles after the number you chose are left
in the extrapolated state.

To convert extrapolation data into keyframes:

1

In the Animation menu, choose Generate Keyframes from the Before First Keyframe or
After Last Keyframe submenu.

Generate Keyframes applied, set to one cycle
