Animation Controls

Use the Animation controls to modify channels. The settings are displayed when the Anim Controls toggle button is enabled in the Animation editor or the Dissolve editor (some options are unavailable in the Dissolve editor).

Note:

In the Dissolve editor, only the Channels display is available.

  2. Click on the keyframe you want to use as a reference and drag up and down to scale the animation in Y around this keyframe.

To scale animation curves in X:
