Scale Keys Tool

In the Graph Editor, use the Scale Keys Tool to scale a region of animation curve segments and the positions of keys in the graph view.

Note: These settings are for the Scale Keys Tool that is part of the Graph Editor Edit menu Transformation Tools. There is also a Scale tool in the Graph Editor Edit menu that has options here: Scale Keys options.

Note: You can change the size of keys appearing in the Graph Editor Graph view with the Key Size option in the Graph Editor section of the Animation (Settings) Preferences.

In the Scale Tool Settings window, you can select two ways to scale keys in the graph view. To display the Scale Tool Settings window, double-click the Scale Tool icon when the Graph Editor is the active window.

For more information, see Scale keys and Scale curves.

Select Transformation Tools > Scale Keys Tool > to open the following Scale Key Settings.

Type

Set one of the following options:

Manipulator

Scaling keys using the Manipulator

Lets you scale keys with a manipulator box style that shows you percentages to let you precisely gauge how much you are affecting the selected keys.

Drag-select keys and then click and drag a corner of the manipulator box in the Graph Editor Graph View. You can also double-click a value and type in the value.

Gestural

Scaling keys using the Gestural Type

Changes the way keys are scaled in the graph view so the mouse position, rather than a scaling box, determines the scaling vectors.

Middle-click and drag up, down, left, or right in the Graph Editor Graph View.

Only scale selected keys

When on, the Scale Keys Tool affects only selected keys. When off, Scale Keys Tool affects all keys.

You can also select Edit > Transformation Tools > Scale Keys > to open the Scale Key Tool options window. See Scale Key Options.
