Chapter 6 Keyframes and Curves 449
In many cases, the curve created by your animation can be represented using fewer
keyframes. Often, this will provide a smoother rate of change and will enable you to

You can simplify your keyframes in two ways, either while you are recording them, or
afterwards, by simplifying an existing channel.
