Main toolbar > Curve Editor (Open) > Curve Editor toolbar
Track View - Dope Sheet > Modes menu > Curve Editor > Curve Editor toolbar
The Curve Editor toolbars contain tools that are also available from the Track View menu bar. The toolbars can be floated, docked, and rearranged as you like. These include the Keys toolbar, The Key Tangents toolbar, and the Curves toolbar, all of which are displayed by default. You can also display other toolbars for quick access to additional tools. To show the hidden toolbars, right-click an empty area between toolbars, choose Show Toolbars, and then pick the toolbar you want to display.
Filter—Use this to determine what is displayed in the Controller window and the Key window. See Filters.
Move Keys—Moves keys freely both horizontally and vertically on the function curve graph. See Move Keys.
Move Keys—Horizontal—Moves keys only horizontally on the function curve graph. See Move Keys.
Move Keys — Vertical—Moves keys constrained vertically on the function curve graph. See Move Keys.
Slide Keys—Use Slide Keys in the Curve Editor to move a group of keys and slide adjacent keys away as you move. See Slide Keys.
Scale Keys—Use Scale Keys to compress or expand the amount of time between keyframes. Works both in Curve Editor and Dope Sheet modes.
See Scale Keys - Time.
Scale Values—Proportionally increases or decreases the values of the keys, rather than moving the keys in time. See Scale Values.
Add Keys—Creates keys on existing curves on the function curve graph or Dope Sheet. See Add Keys (Dope Sheet).
Draw Curves—Use this to draw new curves, or revise existing ones by sketching directly on the function curve graph. See Draw Curves.
Reduce Keys—Use this to reduce the amount of keys in a track. See Reduce Keys.
Set Tangents to Auto—Located on the Key Tangents Track View toolbar, select keys then click this button to set tangents to Auto Tangent automatically.
A flyout also lets you set in tangents and out tangents individually to Auto. Selecting the handles of an Auto tangent changes
them to custom, and makes them available for editing.
Set Tangents to Custom—Sets keys to custom tangents. Select the key then click this button to make the key handles available for editing. Set in
and out tangents individually using the flyout. Use the Shift key to break continuity when using handles.
Set Tangents to Fast—Sets key tangency to fast in, fast out, or both in and out, depending on your choice from the flyout.
Set Tangents to Slow—Sets key tangency to slow in, slow out, or both in and out, depending on your choice from the flyout.
Set Tangents to Step—Sets key tangency to step in, step out, or both in and out, depending on your choice from the flyout. Use step to freeze motion
from one key to the next.
Set Tangents to Linear—Sets key tangency to linear in, linear out, or both in and out, depending on your choice from the flyout.
Set Tangents to Smooth—Sets key tangency to smooth. Use this to even up discontinuous motion.
Lock Selection—Locks the key selection. Once you have created a selection, turn this on and you can't inadvertently select something else.
See Lock Selection.
Snap Frames—Restricts key movement to frames. Keys that are moved will always snap to frames when this is on. When this is off, you can
move a key so it falls between frames and becomes a sub-frame key. Default=on. See Snap Frames.
Parameter Out-of-Range Curves—Use this to repeat keyframed motion beyond the range of the keys. Includes options for Loop, Ping Pong, Cycle, or Repeat relatively,
as well as constant and linear. If you use Parameter Out-of-Range types, you can later create keys using Track View > Utilities
> Create Out-of-Range Keys. See Parameter Curve Out-of-Range Types and Create Out of Range Keys Utility.
Show Keyable Icons—Displays an icon that defines a track as keyable or not. Use this to set keys only on the tracks you want to keyframe. Turning
off a track in Track View also restricts the movement in the viewport. Red keys indicate keyable tracks, black keys are not
keyable. See Keyable Icons.
Show Tangents—Hides or displays tangent handles on the curves. Use this to hide the handles on individual curves. See Show Tangents.
Show All Tangents—Hides or displays all tangent handles on the curves. Use this to hide the handles quickly when many keys are selected. See
Show All Tangents.
Lock Tangents—Locks the selection of multiple tangent handles, so you can then manipulate several handles at once. When Lock Tangents is
off, you can only manipulate one key tangency at a time. See Lock Tangents.
Name—Track View lets you name the Track View. By entering a name in this field, you create a named Track View that you can recall using the Graph Editors menu > Saved Track View submenu. Also available in Dope Sheet mode.
Zoom Selected Object—Puts the currently selected object at the top of the Hierarchy list. Also available in Dope Sheet mode. See Zoom Selected Object for details.
Note: If multiple objects are selected, the Hierarchy list zoom is based on an alphabetical sorting.
Select By Name—Highlights filtered tracks in the Controller window based on the current field value. Also available in Dope Sheet mode. See Select By Name for details.
Tip: You can use commas (,) to include multiple names in your selection.
Navigation—Track View provides tools to pan and zoom the Key window. You can zoom to the extents of the time or the values. Also available in Dope Sheet mode. See Status Bar/View Controls.
