Graph Editor Cut Keys options

Note: This section is about the Cut Keys options in the Graph Editor Edit menu. For information about the Cut Keys Options in the Key menus, see the entry for Edit > Cut Keys in the Key menu topic.

Time Range

Determines the range of keys to be cut or copied. Select from the following options:

All

Cuts or copies all keys for the current object to the clipboard.

Start/End

Cuts or copies all keys between the values you specify in the Start Time to End Time fields.

Method

Specifies whether the keyset will include keys only or keys and animation curve segments (available if Start/End or Time Slider is on).

Adjustment

Time Slider

Cuts keys that are currently shown in the Time slider.

Use the following options to refine your selection:

Method

Specifies whether the keyset will include keys only or keys and animation curve segments (available if Start/End or Time Slider is on).

Adjustment

Specifies how the keyset is copied to the keys clipboard after it is removed.

None

Specifies removing keys within the specified range. If there are keys remaining adjacent to both ends of the deleted area, the animation curve(s) produced will retain the out tangent and in tangent of the key in the cut area.

Collapse

Specifies removing keys within the specified range. Any keys preceding the cut are moved to the start time of the cut area, effectively “shuffling forward” the animation curve to fill the resulting gap.

Connect

Adjusts the keys clipboard curves in value and adjusts the segment of the original curve following the pasted segment. This prevents discontinuity in the animation (available if Collapse is on).
