Create a custom curve view in Motion

1. In the Keyframe Editor in Motion, click the Show Curve Set pop-up menu, then choose New Curve Set.

2. In the dialog that appears, enter a name for the set, then click OK.

   After you create a curve set, you can choose it from the Show Curve Set pop-up menu.

In Motion, do one of the following:

• After you create a custom curve set, drag a parameter name from any pane in the Inspector into the Keyframe Editor parameter list.

  

  

• In the Inspector, click the Animation menu for the parameter, then choose Show in Keyframe Editor.

  The Animation menu (a down arrow) remains hidden until you position the pointer over the far-right side of the parameter row you want to modify.

  The parameter is added to the custom curve set.

• In the Keyframe Editor in Motion, drag the parameter out of the list.

• In Motion, click the Clear Curve List button in the top-right corner of the Keyframe Editor.

  

1. In the Keyframe Editor in Motion, click the Show Curve Set pop-up menu, then choose Manage Curve Sets.

2. In the Manage Curve Sets dialog, select the name of the set to delete.

   

3. Click the Delete button (–) at the top of the dialog.

   The set is deleted.

4. Click Done to close the dialog.

1. In the Keyframe Editor in Motion, click the Show Curve Set pop-up menu, then choose Manage Curve Sets.

2. In the Manage Curve Sets dialog, select the name of the set to duplicate.

3. Click the Duplicate button at the top of the dialog.

   The set is duplicated.

4. Double-click the set name in the list, then enter a name for the set.

5. Click Done to close the dialog.

   The new set now appears in the Show Curve Set pop-up menu. These sets are saved with the project, so each time you reopen the project, they are available. You can store as many parameter sets as you like. After you store a set, you can change or delete that set as needed.

Use the Manage Curve Sets dialog to switch back and forth between custom curve sets that contain common animated parameters. For example, if you created a custom curve set for an object’s Position and Rotation parameters, and your project also contains another object with animated Position and Rotation parameters, you can switch back and forth between their curve sets.

1. In the Keyframe Editor in Motion, click the Show Curve Set pop-up menu, then choose Manage Curve Sets.

2. In the Manage Curve Sets dialog, select the Relative checkbox in the left column.

   The curve set is displayed for the currently selected object.
