Function View

The Function view lets you edit function curves and parameters. It is a visual graph for adding, removing, and editing keyframes, as well as adjusting the velocity. The Function view allows you to display multiple functions in the background as a reference.

Parameter Description

Function List

Function View Function List Section

When selecting a layer in the Timeline view, all the corresponding functions are displayed. Until a keyframe is added on the function in the Timeline view, it will not be displayed in the Function view. Select all the functions you want to see and edit; hide the ones you do not.

 

The Display toolbar allows you to modify how the editing area is displayed. You can hide the grid, disable the synchronization with the current frame, reset the zoom level and normalize the function display by stacking them one over the other to compare them regardless of their value range.

Current Frame Displays the current scene frame.
Selected Keyframe Value Displays the value of the selected keyframe.
Display Advanced Parameter Values Function View Advanced Parameters

Displays the Projection, Bias, Tension and Continuity parameters to adjust the curve around the selected keyframe.

Keyframe, Velocity and Interpolation Options

This toolbar lets you add and delete keyframes, adjust the velocity curve, adjust the segments to motion or stop-motion keyframes and set the velocity to create steps instead of a constant progression.

Function Type

This toolbar lets you click on the different function types to enable or disable all the listed functions of that type.

Value Scale displays the value range for the displayed editing area. It can be referenced to know the value of a keyframe.
Selected Keyframe

The selected keyframe is displayed in red. When selected, the keyframe values are displayed in the corresponding fields.

Bezier Handles

The Bezier handles let you adjust the ease in and ease out of each keyframe. The more the handle is pulled out horizontally, the slower the animation will be. The more the handle is pulled out vertically, the faster the animation will be.

Function Curve

The thin line going from keyframe to keyframe is the actual curve. The section of a curve located between two keyframes is called a segment.

Frame Scale

The Frame Scale displays the frame range for the displayed editing area. It can be referenced to know the current frame of a keyframe.
