Animation Menu States
Depending on the current condition of the parameter, the Animation menu displays a
different icon. The following table shows the Animation menu icons.
The Keyframe Graph
The remainder of the window contains the keyframe graph. This area contains all of the
curves and keyframes for the selected parameters. Each parameter is represented in its
own color. Keyframes appear as diamonds and curves appear as solid lines. Areas
before the first keyframe and after the last keyframe are represented by dotted lines.
Selected parameters appear in white.
You can manipulate keyframes directly by dragging them in the graph. Moving
keyframes left and right changes their position in time, while dragging them up and
down changes their values. You can also double-click a keyframe, type a value into the
Value field, and then press Return to change its value. For more information on
manipulating keyframes and curves in the graph, see “
Modifying Keyframes ” on
page 433, and “ Modifying Curves ” on page 437.
