Use Scale Keys to scale keys horizontally, changing the horizontal location and amount of time covered by selected keys. The horizontal location of the keys represents the frame in time at which the key action takes place.

The scale center for scale time is the current time set by the time slider. You can scale keys about any point in time by dragging the time slider before you use Scale Keys.

Procedure

To scale a selection of keys horizontally:

  1. Right-click an animated object and choose Curve Editor.

  2. In the Hierarchy list, highlight a track.

  3. Scrub the time slider to the frame to use as the scale center.

  4. On the Track View toolbar, click Scale Keys.

  5. Highlight one or more keys.

  6. In the Track View Key window, drag any of the highlighted keys horizontally to scale, or press Shift and drag to add scaled copies of selected keys.

  7. The scaling effect depends on the direction you drag with respect to the time slider location:

    • Drag away from the time slider location to expand keys' scaling.

    • Drag toward the time slider location to reduce keys' scaling.

    • Drag past the time slider location to reverse the keys' order and expand the keys away from the current time.
