Time Mapping Curves
Time Mapping Curves are graphical representations of the time mapping filter. The filter remaps the time in your animation, so that the events that occur at specific times in your animation occur differently in actual time.
By adjusting the shape of the curve, you can control how fast events occur. When you create a sharp jump in the curve, you speed up the events in your animation. When you flatten the curve, you slow down key events.
Each property of your scene can have a different curve, so you can have key events occurring at different speeds.
The curve acts like a filter. Time from the actual animation is remapped according to the shape of the curve to produce the final time. Depending on the shape of the curve, events can occur faster or slower.
Time Mapping Curves can only remap the time available in the animation. You cannot add more time or reduce the amount of time in an animation.
